It Pays to Think Independently
Welcome to The Independent Thinking Newsletter, where businessman, financier, and author Marcelo Marini, together with his private team, shares strategic reflections on business and finance—shaped by real experience managing companies, holdings, and advising high-net-worth individuals, families, and business owners, on various segments, sectors and countries.
Each week, Marcelo Marini delivers thought-provoking reflections on business, finance, and independent thinking. Each month, a deeper Intelligence Letter offers his strategic views and the opportunity for readers to ask questions related to his work and access Mr. Marini’s highly specialized private team.
Marcelo Marini has founded companies, sold, made investments in different sectors, markets, and countries, all before he was 30 years old. He avoids social media. He ran operations, finances, talked to listed companies, engaged in deals with international executives, entrepreneurs, investors, hedge-fund managers and families. Every day, he sees new opportunities in his desk, flaws in the market, and takes new insights and actions. He has done business in multiple countries, founded, invested, managed, and advised on huge debts, business and financial strategies, new deals, and old contracts. He spoke in Washington D.C., China, and Uruguay. Every week, new deals are made, his phone rings, and his private email has a new message. He knows that someone, somewhere, has some important decisions to take.
For over ten years, Marcelo Marini’s weekly writings have reached readers across more than 15 countries. This is the only place where his work is published.

Editorial Approach
We do not offer stock tips, recommendations, investment products, investing advice, portfolio management, or model portfolios. We are not engaged in investment advisory services or portfolio management services. Instead, we focus on understanding business, finance, decision-making, and independent thinking. We are not here to tell you what to do, but to help you question things, and think independently.
