Steven Cortes Biography

Steve Cortes has appeared daily on TV news programs for over a decade, with a career that began at CNBC where he extensively commented on financial markets, primarily as part of the “Fast Money” franchise. He also co-hosts CNBC's "Fast Money Halftime Report." Over the years, his expertise expanded beyond finance as he transitioned into politics, serving in 2016 as a primary TV surrogate for the Trump presidential campaign and was named to Trump’s Hispanic Advisory Council. Reflecting on his numerous TV appearances on behalf of Team Trump, Maria Bartiromo of Fox News noted that Cortes was an effective communicator who understood the public's expectations of a leader.

Post-election, Cortes served as a political commentator for CNN and more recently, he has worked with Fox News. He leads the League of American Workers, a conservative political advocacy group, and continues to be involved in political strategy and public affairs. In finance, Cortes has built a notable career on Wall Street over the past two decades as a trader and strategist. He is the founder of Veracruz TJM, a consultancy providing real-time market research to significant financial entities. He also developed a strong reputation as a contrarian investor, highlighted in his book "Against The Herd: 6 Contrarian Investment Strategies You Should Follow."

Cortes holds a degree from Georgetown University, where he was nominated for the Rhodes Scholarship and named a George F. Baker Scholar. He resides in Chicago with his wife and four children, continuing to influence both the financial and political landscapes through his extensive market knowledge and vibrant public speaking. His presentations are notably enriched by a blend of humor and pop culture, making complex economic issues accessible and engaging to a broad audience.

  • What Does 2016 Mean for 2018?: Outlook for the Midterm Elections

    As a front-row participant in the presidential election of 2016, Steve Cortes holds unique insight into the lessons of that historic upset. He explains the lasting shift that found its instrument in Donald Trump but will live beyond the Trump presidency, especially the ramifications of economic nationalism, border sovereignty, and the diffusion of power.

    Cortes elucidates how these macro movements, while young, are relevant not only for politics but also for crucial business and societal trends in America. Specifically, Cortes will lay out the potential of both promise and peril for the 2018 midterm elections in light of the changes realized in 2016.

    Steven Cortes served on Trump’s National Hispanic Advisory Council and became the foremost Latino face of the Trump campaign over hundreds of national TV news hits and many local TV/radio programs geared to Latino markets in key swing states. The head of the Hispanic 100, Mario Rodriguez, called Steve “the most articulate, ardent, and knowledgeable Hispanic television analysts on air today.”

    As the son of a Latin immigrant, Cortes brings audiences a firsthand look into how policies have both helped and hurt Latino communities in America.

    Cortes makes the case for a renaissance within Hispanic America through empowerment policies including school choice, enterprise zones, deregulation, and immigration reform. Cortes also specifically outlines the opportunities and potential pitfalls for American businesses regarding the hugely important Hispanic demographic.
