Who We Are

Saul grew up in Argentina and moved to the U.S.A. in 1985 with his family. His career in investments began independently in 1987. In early 1991, he was hired by Shearson Lehman Brothers. In 2000, he joined Morgan Stanley Private Wealth Management. Later, in 2003, he joined EFG Capital International.

Finally, in 2008, Saul founded his own firm, Greenwich Creek Capital Management, with two ideas in mind: (1) transparency with clients and (2) a focus on further developing his proprietary investment process. This process includes both quantitative and qualitative aspects. In other words, a systematic component and the human factor capable of dealing with irrational market behavior, respectively.

He co-founded Freedom Invest, a brand of Greenwich Creek Capital Management, a Registered Investment Adviser. Freedom Invest was created to offer professional wealth management to everyone.

His portfolio management style is dynamic. It focuses on both making and protecting money. The proprietary investment process we apply as a firm has taken Saul over 15 years to develop. The core is to invest in sync with the financial cycle. He named his investment process The Financial Cycle Portfolio.

The content he writes aims to communicate his thought process as an investment adviser. Saul’s goal is to effectively breed trust and peace-of-mind between himself and all the firm’s clients. He firmly believes all clients should be informed of the reasoning behind the investment decisions made for their accounts. Staying informed fosters transparency in an industry plagued with conflicts of interest and questionable ethics.

Saul is married to his wife of 45 years. They have three children and ten grandchildren. He lives in Connecticut and for leisure, he enjoys reading, sailing, chopping firewood, watching rugby, and blasting classical music.

She co-founded Freedom Invest, a brand of Greenwich Creek Capital Management, a Registered Investment Adviser founded in 2008. Freedom’s goal is to offer professional wealth management to everyone.

The content she posts focuses on the issues affecting financial markets and what they mean for your portfolio. Maria realizes investing is very time-consuming and is here to help alleviate that burden the best she can.

Most importantly, her goal is to be transparent with the people that trust the firm to invest their money on their behalf, communicating to them investment decisions and the thought process behind them.
