About Eddie Carreno
With over two decades of experience in the financial services industry, I serve as a strategic resource for ultra-high-net-worth families and individuals in the United States and abroad. I understand that significant wealth brings significant complexity. My mission is to simplify that landscape, delivering bespoke investment solutions that prioritize wealth preservation, tax efficiency and multigenerational growth.
My approach is holistic and rigorous. As a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ (CFP®), I adhere to the highest ethical standards, ensuring every recommendation serves your best interest. With a boutique client experience backed by the resources of a premier trading and execution platform, my practice is dedicated to solving the unique challenges facing wealthy individuals, including complex cross-border wealth planning, tax-efficient asset allocation, sophisticated portfolio construction and liability management. Whether focusing on asset allocation or investment manager selection, I build strategies designed to withstand volatile markets and changing financial climates.
My background is rooted in the intricacies of institutional-level finance. Prior to my current role, I held leadership positions including Area Investment Sales Manager for Citigroup’s Personal Investments International Office. I began my career in 2001 in the Securities Based Lending Group at Merrill Lynch and then spent time as a Financial Advisor in Merrill Lynch’s Private Bank and Investment Group, gaining deep experience handling the nuances of complex balance sheets. However, in 2015, I made the deliberate choice to step away from corporate management to return to my true passion: working directly with clients to architect their financial futures.
Born and raised in Miami, I am deeply rooted in the community. I earned my Bachelor of Science in Economics from Vanderbilt University as a Chancellor’s Scholar, followed by a Master of Business Administration from the University of Florida. When not advising clients, I enjoy outdoor sports and traveling, and I am also an avid gardener and painter. I reside in Miami with my wife, Letty, and we are the proud parents of four children: Joaquin, Antonella, Emilia, and Tomas.
