Amine Benali, CFA
Amine is an investment advisor representative under Westland Gate Capital, LLC., a seasoned veteran of the investment management industry, a business development and capital advisory professional, and an educator and mentor of future impact capital allocators.
​
He spent his formative years in eastern Morocco in the border town of Oujda, where entrepreneurship had been a necessity, and where community members often banded together to support those in need. While fortunate and grateful for the opportunity to build a future in the United States, he has remained committed to the principles of cooperation and community service as the primary means of ensuring social harmony.
​
Amine's professional life has revolved around the capital markets as a manager of multi-billion dollar global portfolios, and as an advisor to businesses, community development financial institutions (CDFIs), and impact funds. He is a faithful student of the valuation cycles and a strong believer in value as the cornerstone of all investment decisions. Value manifests itself when good unexplored businesses meet robust due diligence.
​
Amine has dedicated his academic life to Development Economics and poverty alleviation. He is a professor of Social Enterprise and Impact Investing at Northeastern University in Boston, MA, where he feels privileged to lecture and mentor the future leaders of the capital allocation business.
