ABOUT JAIME CARRASCO
-Senior Portfolio Manager: Harbourfront Wealth Management
-Born in Chile, he grew up in a household where differing economic ideologies were hotly debated as the country transitioned through a deepening economic and political crisis. Jaime and his immediate family moved to Canada a year after the military coup by Agusto Pinochet in 1973. While Pinochet imposed a highly disputed reign of terror, his other reforms included an overhaul of Chile’s debt based economic system which allowed it to become one of the best performing economies in the world. It was one of Jaime’s earliest experiences of how a challenging economic period can lead to a prosperous economy.
