This site is a space for sharing ideas, set in motion after 10 years spent abroad in the world of fund management and institutional financial consulting. Living in the UK, Japan and Italy have represented a great experience so far.

Education is always ongoing, and one never stops learning. As a Chartered Financial Analyst (a title registered and recognized globally by the CFA Institute), I have access to a vast amount of information and topics that I occasionally enjoy translating and simplifying to make it accessible to anyone who might be interested.

The content of this site is free and does not constitute any kind of financial recommendation. Anyone can freely use the information published here (if you name the source, I will be grateful…).
