Empirical Private Investment Office is owned by Robert Nash, an independent trader that has traded for a living for 34 years that runs a commodities trading operation specializing in the price of crude oil, and opportunistic trading in natural gas, gold, and silver for his own accounts.

The trading operation uses proprietary market auction analysis that provides a framework with which to better conceptualize market activity. Trading is based on an independent evaluation of market activity, along with data-backed insights from sentiment, statistical probabilities and seasonality information. A systematic approach using price oscillations in a pre-defined range to enter and exit trades with varying levels of frequency and holding periods captures a steady flow of profits.

Outsourced trading can be provided via a high-speed trade allocation platform that duplicates the trading operation into the security of an investors own account held with a financial institution that issues statements directly to account owners​. All accounts receive the same trades automatically adjusted proportionately to account equity.​ Accounts have high liquidity and can be withdrawn from or deposited into at any time. Capital can be allocated in small increments and scaled as confidence grows.
