He is highly adept at constructing hedging and monetization strategies, and using options to help capitalize on market upsides while protecting against downside exposure.

Diligent and hardworking by nature, Joe brings integrity to every interaction. He helps ensure a seamless process to generate value for individuals and institutions. Through both passive and active management, he provides an avenue to remain opportunistic for the benefit of the team's clients. With more than 25 years of investment advisory experience, Joe focuses on implementing asset allocations that align with client risk profiles and desired returns.
