Jeffrey Boyko, President and Chief Currency Strategist

Jeffrey Boyko has broad international experience and is multi-disciplined, initially setting out with an engineering degree from his hometown of Winnipeg, Canada. His highly analytical mindset, confident decision making ability, and affinity for numbers has been very relevant in the success of his long career as a currency strategist which began in 1996. In 1997 he had the good fortune of being brought on board as a chief currency trader for DynexCorp working directly with Peter Panholzer, a renowned top ranked currency trader. Mr. Boyko continues as a trader and director with DynexCorp, domiciled in Geneva, Switzerland, which provides independent currency portfolio management to corporate clients, financial institutions, hedge funds, family offices and high-net-worth individuals.

Mr. Boyko founded Castle Currency Management in 2000, the same year he obtained his Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) designation which is highly regarded in the financial community. His focus is to interpret the financial impact of being exposed to global currency fluctuations and to improve the financial outcomes (the bottom line) of Castle Currency customers. He continually analyzes foreign currency markets and then develops specific, custom currency management strategies based on the financial goals and restrictions of each individual client. In addition, he provides daily conversion strategies and hedging strategies on foreign currency markets for Castle Currency market subscribers. He has personally traded and advised on hundreds of billions of dollars with strategies he has provided to companies.

Jeffrey is often a presenter and contributor at currency investment and risk management seminars. He is also a member of the Global Association of Risk Professionals.

In early 1985, Mr Panholzer joined the London Mayfair office of E.F.Hutton & Company and became registered in the UK with SFA.
