Guest profile

Dudu Cearense is an ex-soccer player, financial adviser, and private banker.

Worst investment ever

Dudu was a young athlete making good money, just like many professional athletes, but he didn’t know anything about managing this money. He didn’t know about saving on taxes, he didn’t clearly understand the terms of his contract, and most importantly, he didn’t know how to invest his money.

Therefore, Dudu relied on other people for investment advice. A friend came along and told him that real estate was the best way to invest his money. Since he didn’t know much about investing, Dudu believed his friend, so he only built a real estate portfolio.
