Joseph Terranova
Joe Terranova is the Chief Market Strategist for Virtus
Investment Partners, an asset management firm with more
than $25 billion under management, based in Hartford, Conn.
He was elevated into that position in June 2009. Previously, he
held the position of Chief Alternatives Strategist for Virtus
Investment Partners. He joined Phoenix Investment Partners –
now named Virtus Investment Partners – in June 2008.
In his current role, Terranova works with Virtus’ investment
management teams and the financial advisors who sell the
company’s investment products, providing insight into the
domestic and global investing landscape for such asset
classes as Equities, Commodities, Fixed Income and
Currencies.
He has represented Virtus as a keynote speaker for such financial institutions as Morgan Stanley,
UBS and Merrill Lynch. In addition, Terranova is a member of the Virtus Investment Partners
Investment Oversight Committee.
Prior to joining Virtus Investment Partners, Terranova spent 18 years at MBF Clearing Corp., rising
to the position of Director of Trading for the company and its subsidiaries. In this capacity, he
managed more than 300 traders and support staff for MBF, one of the New York Mercantile
Exchange’s largest firms. His work was highlighted as the feature story in the June 2004 issue of
Futures magazine.
Terranova is perhaps best known for his risk management skills, honed while overseeing MBF’s
proprietary trading operations during some of the most calamitous times for the U.S. markets,
including the first Gulf War, the 1998 Asian Crisis, 9/11, and the collapse of Amaranth Advisors.
During those times there was never a loss at MBF due to market anomalies. In fact, the firm
continued to trade profitably and grows its business.
In 2003, Terranova was one of the first Wall Street professionals to make an early call for higher
energy, natural resource and commodity prices. In June 2008 he cautioned investors to move to the
sidelines in commodities. During March 2009, he encouraged investors to ignore the global
“embracement of pessimism” and overweight equities.
Before joining MBF, Terranova held positions at both Swiss Banking Corp. and JP Morgan
Securities.
Terranova has made frequent appearances on CNBC, Bloomberg TV, FOX, and CNN, and is quoted
in a variety of financial media publications. For more than 12 years he wrote a daily energy market
commentary that is widely popular within the energy industry and hedge fund community.
In 2007, along with Hockey Hall of Fame player Mike Bossy, Terranova established “Bossy’s
Bunch,” a program that rewards excellence in the classroom for elementary students.
Terranova graduated from the Peter J. Tobin College of Business at St. John's University in 1988
with a B.S. in finance. He was raised in Nassau County, Long Island. He attended Chaminade High
School in Mineola, NY.

Platinum Designs – Long Term Care Insurance Specialists
Have you thought about the consequences a long term care event could have on
you and your family? If you were not protected, you could risk losing your
retirement savings, the inheritance you planned to give to your children and the
possibility of impoverishing your spouse.
At least 3 out of 4 people over 65 years old will need long-term care services at
some point. A need for long term care may result from: Accidents, Illness,
Advanced Aging, Strokes, Dementia and other chronic conditions.
Long Term Care Insurance can help you gain control. It can be a practical and
more affordable way to help pay the high costs of long term care services. What
is your plan? Some people believe they can self-insure by allocating personal
savings for long term care. Once you do the math, however, you’ll see that long
term care insurance coverage may be a much better option. The biggest obstacle
to getting long term care insurance is the health issue of qualifying, not the cost.
We offer AITP members, spouses and family member’s association discounts of
5-10% off the premium (the public pays) on long term insurance for the life of the
policy.
We will give you quotes from all the major providers: Genworth, Med America,
Transamerica, Mass Mutual, John Hancock, and Mutual of Omaha.
Please call or email me to set up a time to talk.
