Rafael Alcantara-Lansberg started working in the financial markets in mid-1997 on an EM bond arbitrage trading desk. He heads the firm’s global macro research efforts and sets the risk guidelines for the portfolio management team. His areas of interest include portfolio theory, asset allocation and the psychology of financial markets. For Rafael, Harbor Ithaka is about doing Wealth Management as it should be done: Excellent risk-adjusted returns should be consistent with an ethical practice; in fact they might depend upon it: “no excuses, no good enoughs.”
