Gustave J. Scacco
Chief investment officer & CEO
Gus joined HVIA in 2015 with over 20 years of investment experience. He has the distinction of having played baseball during spring training with the Cincinnati Reds. While that experience was short-lived, Gus learned that even baseball is “all about business and maybe a little bit of luck.”
But baseball’s loss was the financial world’s gain. Gus began at the American Stock Exchange, launching him into a career at some of Wall Street’s top firms. A seasoned portfolio manager and securities analyst, Gus brings both retail and institutional experience to HVIA.
“When I started in the business it was people-oriented, but over the years it lost that. Not here. We’re people-oriented and that’s an important difference.”
Having been born in Brooklyn and later residing on Long Island, he now calls the Hudson Valley home. Gus and his wife have two children.
