Raphael Vernaz Barili

About me

I am a strong advocate of index investing, convinced that rigorously structured passive investing offers the best combination of performance and risk management. I champion an approach based on transparency, objectivity, and alignment of interests, far removed from opaque products and biased advice. My ambition: to empower everyone to regain control of their finances and invest wisely.

With a Master's degree in Finance and 15 years of experience, including four years as a trader, I have a keen understanding of the financial markets. I have now chosen to dedicate my expertise to individuals seeking clear and effective solutions. As a specialist in the Financial Independence, Retire Early (FIRE) movement, I support my clients with a pragmatic and empathetic approach, enabling them to build wealth aligned with their life goals.

Beyond finance, I am also passionate about knowledge transfer: I teach finance, sharing my expertise with the next generation of professionals and investors. As a West Coast Swing dancer and instructor, I embody discipline, rigor, and adaptability—qualities I apply both in the markets and on the dance floor.
