Biography


"Opportunity is found not in the consensus, but in the contrarian." Bonner comes to work every day to build better portfolios to help clients of CORDA achieve their financial goals. Bonner has a passion for finding great companies that are out of favor with Wall Street and the investing public that pay great dividends to their shareholders and can grow over time. Much like Bonner’s involvement in cycling, to succeed one needs to stay disciplined and steadfast in the process. With over 35 years experience navigating the securities markets, Bonner founded CORDA in 1999 and continues relationships with clients, some now more than 25 years. Bonner graduated from Duke University and holds the Accredited Investment Fiduciary ((AIF) designation. Bonner has been a guest on CNBC and recognized by Barron’s as one of the top 1,200 advisors in the country.
