Biography

One of José Contant’s biggest assets is his vast knowledge of the stock markets. Thanks to the experience he’s acquired during financial crises and challenging economic times, he’s become a seasoned advisor.

Investment Philosophy

Mr. Contant prefers to diversify rather than focus on a single investment. He’s also a huge proponent of keeping it simple. In other words, he wants his clients to know exactly what they’re investing in. He doesn’t suggest complex products that are hard to explain and understand.

What sets us apart
