Garzarelli Capital, Inc. & Charles Street Advisors, LLC

Elaine Garzarelli is the founder and president of Garzarelli Capital, Inc. and Charles Street Advisors, LLC. Prior to establishing her own firms, she held senior leadership roles—including Partner and Managing Director—at Lehman Brothers and other major institutional investment firms.

Recognized as a leader in her field, Elaine was ranked First Team in Quantitative Analysis and Portfolio Strategy in Institutional Investor’s All-Star Poll and was inducted into the prestigious All-America Research Team Hall of Fame. Her work has been prominently featured in Fortune, BusinessWeek, Wall Street Journal, the NY Times, and numerous other national and international publications.

Elaine’s track record includes the accurate prediction of major market turning points, especially the 1987 stock market crash, the upturn in stock prices beginning in late 1994 when Wall Street was overwhelmingly bearish, and subsequent market tops and bottoms.

She holds a PhD in economics and statistics and studied at New York University and Drexel University. She has an annual scholarship awarded at Drexel University for female students majoring in economics.

Innovative Methodology and Market Forecasting

Elaine developed her proprietary Sector Analysis methodology and market indicator composite model while serving as a corporate profit economist at major brokerage firms. Her econometric approach enabled her to forecast major trends in both stock prices and earnings across 25 S&P 500 industry groups.

Today, she continues to use these mathematical models to evaluate the relative attractiveness of S&P 500 sectors—categorizing them as attractive, neutral, or unattractive—which is used in managing her Sector Analysis Hedge Fund and also reported in her Sector Analysis Weekly Report. This report is distributed to institutional investors worldwide, including mutual funds, pension funds, and hedge funds.
