In this diversification, I like to build a balanced portfolio where no client misses out on the rise of technology stocks -for example- but at the same time, they can keep a portion of their savings invested in more defensive options.I'm very fond of established technology companies and those focused on consumer staples and discretionary goods, always prioritizing company value over circumstances, which can sometimes be adverse. That's where I feel most comfortable: finding investment opportunities in the intrinsic value of companies with strong catalysts. For the past seven years, I've been an active investor, independently managing third-party portfolios and also focusing on macroeconomic trends, stock valuation, and the relationship between politics and markets.I hold a Master's degree in Economics and have worked as a consultant for both public and private organizations. My consulting work encompassed both financial and economic aspects, including analyzing public tenders; a demanding task. I believe it was there that I learned the reality that "buying low and selling high" is much more difficult than it seems. The pressures of public tenders are the closest thing I've experienced to the stress of watching all your stocks plummet during market crises (2020 and 2022, for example).I also maintain a blog where I share my investment perspectives and reflect on the importance of expanding opportunities for women in the world of finance. In the public organizations where I've worked, I've integrated and promoted financial inclusion programs for women, and I must say it was my most challenging task. I believe there is much more to be done in this area, and I hope to contribute my small part on Seeking Alpha.Analyst’s Disclosure: I/we have no stock, option or similar derivative position in any of the companies mentioned, and no plans to initiate any such positions within the next 72 hours.
