Investment Manager
Ruben joined Akambo in 2024 as an investment manager, bringing over two decades of experience in investment strategy and portfolio management.
His career began in 2005 as an auditor with Ernst & Young. He then switched to retail broking and eventually stepped into a senior portfolio management role at a Melbourne-based wealth manager. There, he oversaw the investment strategy across five managed accounts, covering everything from high-growth portfolios to conservative allocations. Ruben’s broad investment approach included direct equities, passive and smart-beta funds, listed property, infrastructure, and fixed income. His expertise spans strategic thinking and operational execution, ensuring investment ideas translate into real-world outcomes.
Ruben’s core strength lies in distilling complexity. He has a gift for cutting through the noise to pinpoint what truly matters — the key drivers of investment leadership. He holds a Bachelor of Commerce from the University of Melbourne and is a CFA® Charterholder.
Outside work, Ruben is a proud father of three and a committed (if occasionally misguided) sports enthusiast. While age and talent may not always be on his side, that hasn’t stopped him from chasing personal bests — usually with good humour and the odd ice pack.
Ruben’s qualifications include:
