Who am I ?
Hi, I’m Sophocles Sophocleous. I am a professional active investor. I recently worked as senior advisor to Swiss-based activist hedge fund manager Veraison Capital for over 2 years, focusing on European equities. Previously, I was head of asset management at SPA Financial Services where I actively managed two small funds; one that invested in global large-cap equities and bonds and another that focused on high-yield EUR-denominated bonds. Before that, I managed a long-only and long-short strategy for an institutional client on contract. I also spent 11 years with London-based Emerging Markets manager Argo Capital Management with $3 billion peak AuM. I teach the CFA Level 1 at the European University Cyprus. In the past, I taught an applied investing class at the Cyprus International Institute of Management. Every September I host the by-invitation Cyprus Value Investor Conference.
I was born in Canada but grew up in Cyprus from the age of 9. I am a Fulbright scholar and Chartered Financial Analyst and did a double major in Economics and Finance at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.
