Our Story


Schaeffer's Investment Research was founded in 1981 by Bernie Schaeffer, a visionary actuary passionate about the stock and options markets. Bernie and his business partner, while working at Great American Insurance in Cincinnati, shared a fascination for the then-underexplored world of options trading. Recognizing the lack of accessible resources and expert recommendations for retail traders, Bernie embarked on a mission to bridge this gap.

From humble beginnings publishing "The Option Advisor," the world’s first newsletter dedicated exclusively to the options market, Schaeffer's Investment Research has grown into a powerhouse of options trading education and professional-grade options trade recommendations. Today, we remain true to our roots, offering unparalleled expertise while continuously innovating to meet the needs of modern traders.
