From the desk of J. Paul Gettyswine, III
In 1949 my grandfather decided to offer his mathematical and analytical skills to others to help them realize the success he was accomplishing in the human stock market and other financial systems. He was a quiet, modest porcine, one who seemingly saw the future.
Most called him Paul. The Porkfolio was born. Its humble beginnings were literally in a barn outside of Des Moines in a cornfield – away from the bustle of the Financial Districts in major metropolitan areas. Paul quietly built a strong and steady business, moving it several times, until he built the current U.S. headquarters in 1957 in what is now known as Styville. Originally, the town was called Little Springs, but after a considerable influx of porcine families, the town adopted its new name. The Porcine Community was born and flourished.
As a piglet, I had the privilege of learning from Paw Paw Paul. He would take me on walks through fields, into businesses, into homes, schools, medical facilities, philanthropic organizations, churches and even to where the destitute lived. I am proud to say I followed his trotters and keep his vision alive.
We are on the verge of astounding technological and scientific advancements. The Porkfolio is an institution that serves the global porcine community – with pride, pleasure and promise.
I am honored to serve as Chairman of the Board and CEO.
