Carlos understands, and has a great appreciation for, our capital markets.
He has been active in portfolio construction for a variety of investor needs, from short-term opportunistic to long-term strategic. Through deep statistical analysis with an overlay of fundamental views of the various investable asset classes available, Carlos recommends the right mix in a client's portfolio.
He has a background in investment research and wholesale distribution of financial products; he has been exposed to a long list of instruments investors can park their money in: Derivatives, index products, mutual funds, real estate debt and equity offerings, hedge funds, stocks, bonds, and annuities.
Carlos is passionate about efficiency and will only suggest an investment once all other personal client factors have been accounted for; he takes a holistic approach to a client's financial goals. Once Carlos and the client meet to uncover potential weaknesses in an existing financial plan, he will thoroughly research a range of opportunities then provide an effective solution that matches the client's profile. Constant communication is of utmost importance because as clients' lives transform, so will their financial needs and goals, as well as their risk tolerance. Carlos has had success with a process that involves periodic reporting and monitoring.
Carlos is a member of the National City Chamber of Commerce, LeTip of Mt Helix, and Del Mar Traders. He has volunteered his time to Rotary International and to the Catholic Church in the South Bay. He is happily married to Jackie.
