Silvia O. Miñarro: translator, investor, and your gateway to Spanish-speaking markets

Save. Invest smartly. Earn.

After 10+ years of successfully investing my own money and translating financial and marketing texts for banks, funds and major companies, I received a lot of questions on how to save and invest. That is why in 2024 I decided to obtain the diploma Expert financial advisor, MiFID II certification, acknowledged by CNMV.
