About Rosanna Pezzo-Brizio, Ph.D.

Hi, I am Rosanna.
Originally from Italy, I came to the United States to pursue a degree in finance. Afterwards, I joined the Litterman’s group in Goldman Sachs Asset Management as an analyst, where I helped managing the partners’ portfolios using the Black Litterman model.

I then held positions as Trader of Credit Derivatives at RBS Greenwich Capital, Fixed Income Portfolio Manager, and Treasurer of Intesa Sanpaolo NY.

My front office experience together with my risk management approach, set me apart from my peers in performing new-investment due diligence and post-investment supervision at New York Life Investment Management. My passion for protecting the environment, fighting for social justice, and working with integrity qualified me as an ESG expert at NYLIM.

In 2015, I joined the faculty of Columbia University’s Mathematics of Finance MA program as an Adjunct Professor in Fixed Income Portfolio Management. I am often invited to conferences to speak on liquidity, investments, mathematical models, and ESG.

I am an Investment Advisor Representative, and live in Rye, NY, with my husband and 4 children. I hold a Ph.D. in Mathematics of Finance from the University of Brescia (Italy), a Master’s in Mathematics of Finance from Columbia University, and I have completed the Columbia Business School Venture Capital & Private Equity program.

I had the pleasure of working with Rosanna over the past 7 years, and I couldn’t be more satisfied with the guidance and expertise she provided. From the outset, Rosanna took the time to understand my financial goals, priorities, and concerns, ensuring her recommendations were tailored to my unique situation. What stood out most was Rosanna’s ability to simplify complex financial concepts and strategies, making me feel confident in every decision. She was always available to answer questions, respond promptly to concerns, and provide clear, actionable advice. More importantly, her investment strategy significantly improved my portfolio’s performance. Beyond her professionalism, Rosanna displayed genuine care and interest in my long-term financial well-being, which made the experience even more positive. I feel secure knowing I have a trusted advisor who has my best interests at heart. I highly recommend Rosanna and her firm, Tuliptree Advisors, to anyone looking for reliable, knowledgeable, and personable financial guidance.

Professor Rosanna Pezzo-Brizio is a remarkable person who has profoundly influenced my academic and professional journey. I had the pleasure of enrolling in Professor Rosanna's Fixed Income course at Columbia University. From the very first class, it was evident that she possessed a rare combination of deep subject matter expertise and a genuine passion for teaching. Her practical approach to instruction brought the course material to life, making it both engaging and intellectually stimulating. What truly sets Professor Rosanna apart is her commitment to her students' success beyond the classroom. I was impressed by her willingness to stay after class, often spending extra hours answering questions, providing invaluable guidance for interviews, and sharing insights from her extensive industry experience. This practical focus directly translated into real-world scenarios and challenges I continue to encounter today. The course's emphasis on practical applications and her ability to bridge the gap between academia and industry has undoubtedly contributed to my current role at Kirkoswald AM. Throughout the semester, I witnessed Professor Rosanna's genuine interest in her students' progress and development. Her dedication to enhancing the learning experience and ensuring her teaching methods resonate with a diverse group of students is inspiring. In conclusion, I have no doubt that her experience and success would provide tremendous value to anyone seeking expert guidance in investments and portfolio management.

When in-depth knowledge meets broad-based perspective

I’ve known Rosanna since our mutual involvement in the National Association of Corporate Treasurers. I was immediately impressed with her grasp of both theoretical concepts and practical applications, as evidenced by her accomplishments in both the academic and business arenas. She has combined her knowledge of cash flow, tax planning and cash investing, all critical to the CFO & Treasurer, with the deep understanding of debt and equity markets that allows her to advise clients, based on their individual goals, with an investment plan that sets realistic objectives, aligned with their individual risk tolerance. Moreover, her deep understanding of the markets, combined with her ability to see the big picture, facilitates reacting and responding in a timely manner.

I have known Rosanna for more than 10 years. We are both alumni of Columbia University, and we crossed paths when working on Wall Street. I am proud to call her my friend. She is a brilliant intellectual and very loyal. She cares deeply and genuinely for her clients and her students, she is a force to reckon with. She is generous with her advice, and you immediately know that you can trust her judgment. I recently joined one of her events in Westchester and was impressed with her vast and deep knowledge of helping parents plan for their children's education. I have signed up for her weekly update on the market, which I find thorough and insightful. Finding a good financial advisor is not easy, but finding someone who will listen to your concerns, plan with your best interest at heart, and you can trust to be there for you always, is very difficult. She is one of the best.

I am a young professional with very little time to manage my own money. I trusted Rosanna and she provided me with great returns (above the S&P 500 returns!). I wanted to grow my portfolio aggressively, and Rosanna was able to pick the right names to invest in that fit my goals and risk profile. She has an incredible knowledge of the credit and equity markets, and a great instinct for investing. I fully trust Rosanna's guidance and recommend her to all busy people like me.

Her ability to bridge academic rigor with real-world relevance speaks to her exceptional understanding of the industry. Based on my experience as her student, I have no doubt that her advisory services would provide tremendous value to anyone seeking expert guidance in fixed income and portfolio management.

Rosanna and I worked together when she was an exotics trader in the Credit Markets business at RBS. She is brilliant and, in fact, was the smartest person on the trading floor but always took the time to educate others. I trust Rosanna implicitly as she is both a methodical and strategic investor, with the interpersonal skills and compassion that all of her clients benefit from. I always look forward to hearing her insights and advice, and rely on her to successfully achieve my investment goals.

I've known Rosanna for about 20 years. I have followed her career and lately I've asked her financial advises for my assets and my senior mother. Her explanations and suggestions were very clear and she gave me also names of people and organizations that could help me more. It's very clear to me that she is a passionate and honest adviser. A diamond in the field. My family count on her.
