Master Your Money

Ben Eiler is a bond trader and First Southern Securities partner. Ben embodies more than 15 years of industry experience specializing in providing fixed income solutions to individuals, financial advisors and fee based money managers. When asked of Ben, Eric Shahinian of Camac Partners says “My firm has invested in municipal bonds with Ben at First Southern since I believe 2013. We invested in many of the municipal bonds they mentioned, and found each of them to be quite mispriced and cheap. Even the ones I passed on, for various reasons, they ended up being right. I find that their knowledge of the space is top-notch, they have a great work ethic, they are scrappy and do the diligence. They are also operating in an area of the market that they are well above the competition in my mind. Since 2014 we have invested in their Phorcys fund (were the day 1 investor) and I plan to keep our investment there for a very long time. Its been a positive experience; performance has been good, and more importantly they have made money for the right reasons (their thesis being correct).” I need say no more. The University of Puerto Rico School of Business Student Alumni Association is proud to present bond trader Ben Eiler.
