About Ruben Mendez

At the intersection of market complexity and practical solutions is where I thrive. My journey from US Navy service to Chartered Financial Analyst has taught me that markets reward both discipline and continuous curiosity.In my current role as a Derivatives Specialist at Charles Schwab, I work directly with clients to provide strategic guidance on account management, derivatives trading, capital efficiency and risk mitigation. Every interaction is guided by a commitment to building trust, delivering value, and achieving client goals.I bring \"boots on the ground\" knowledge to finance as a trader and educator for clients through market volatility, behavioral challenges, and strategic positioning at Charles Schwab. During my 4+ year tenure, I witnessed the historic Charles Schwab-TD Ameritrade merger, gaining valuable insights into organizational transformation within financial services.My passion for understanding market behavior is fed by voracious reading, and applied daily in practical client scenarios. Having recently received my CFA charter, I am open to leveraging this expertise to pursue opportunities in asset management or equity research.Illinois native. DePaul University alumnus (B.S. and M.S. in Finance). US Navy veteran. Perpetual learner.
