who we are

Founded in the sunlit Algarve by a CFA® and CAIA® Charterholder with Wall Street pedigree, Southern Oak brings global investment rigor to Iberian opportunities. Our dual roots in American financial innovation and Portuguese market intimacy let us serve as trusted stewards for our clients.

We built Southern Oak as a cultural and financial bridge – where Algarve authenticity meets CFA®-derived rigor. Whether you’re a British retiree eyeing the Silver Coast or a Brazilian entrepreneur targeting Porto’s tech surge, we speak your language…in 3 dialects.
