About Sterling Masior & Co.

Our Beginning

Sterling Masior & Co. was founded by Michael Schaefer, a finance graduate of the University of Tennessee, whose vision for long-term wealth creation began not in a boardroom, but in a college dorm room.

At 23 years old, with an initial investment of less than $500, Schaefer entered the world of collectible assets.
What started as a small, disciplined experiment in value arbitrage soon evolved into something much larger: a comprehensive understanding of value, scarcity, market timing, and capital allocation.

Those early lessons became the foundation of the firm’s philosophy today.

From Dorm Room to a Diversified Investment Firm

Schaefer’s early success in volatile asset investments opened the door to broader investment arenas.
Over time, the firm expanded its interests into:

  • Real estate holdings

  • Digital assets & blockchain-aligned investments

  • Private capital and small-business investments

  • Selective alternative assets

Our Philosophy

We believe that wealth should be managed with intention, not impulse.

Every investment is approached through a refined strategy emphasizing:

  • Global diversification

  • Long-term compounding

  • Capital preservation

  • Precision and discipline

The firm’s roots in hands-on asset trading gave rise to a mindset centered around understanding real value, identifying asymmetric opportunities, and managing risk with care.

Today, that same mindset drives the firm’s broader, multi-asset strategy.

A Firm Built for the Future

Although our story begins modestly, our mission is ambitious:

Identify opportunity. Preserve capital. Build generational wealth.

From a small dorm room investment to a growing multi-asset investment firm, Sterling Masior & Co. stands as proof that disciplined strategy, vision, and deliberate action can transform small beginnings into lasting empires.
