Raising the bar for investment advisors

Since 2009, Asher has dedicated himself to providing top-notch investment advice.

Prior to Magnifina, Asher co-managed Bloomsbury Partners, a private investment company, and grew its assets to over $25 million. With Asher’s deep industry knowledge, Magnifina strives to ensure that every client receives first-rate service.

His responsibilities included designing and implementing high-frequency trading algorithms, dealing complex derivatives, and proprietary trading.
