In this episode of the Puerto Rico Business Broadcast, I sit down with Daven Michaels to talk about alternative investments and why they’re becoming such a powerful tool for building wealth.
I share my journey from Wall Street to Puerto Rico, how I transitioned into merchant banking, and why I focus on opportunities that go beyond traditional investments. We dive into everything from biotech breakthroughs and pre-IPO deals to credit funds and capital strategies that are helping investors achieve higher yields while managing risk.
We also discuss what’s happening in today’s capital markets, how founders can raise money the right way, and what investors should be looking for in this rapidly changing environment.
If you’re looking to diversify your portfolio, uncover unique opportunities, or better understand the world of alternative investing—this is a conversation you don’t want to miss.

I’ve built and operated a boutique investment bank before transitioning into direct investing, where I focus on alternative investments that offer unique structures, strong yields, and differentiated opportunities.
