About Blerina
Blerina Hysi understands that every little bit counts, and even the smallest sums can add up over time to create a meaningful and lasting impact on the lives of her clients. That’s why shopping for yield and the search for bonds even a few basis points cheaper becomes an exciting, and rewarding, opportunity.
As the director of Focus's fixed income department, Blerina works with Focus Partners’s fixed income and advisory teams to help construct and maintain customized client bond portfolios, all with an eye toward finding the best way to implement the client’s comprehensive financial plan. Her duties include fixed income analysis, bond trading and building tailored, client-focused portfolio solutions.
Prior to joining Focus in 2012, Blerina served as a fixed income product specialist with Wells Fargo Advisors, where she became the first point of contact for advisors seeking guidance on all fixed income products. She also traded secondary municipal bonds and was involved with new issue preferred stock and treasury auctions. Before that, she worked at Reliance Bank as a commercial loan administrator and compliance specialist.
At Focus, Blerina serves on the Wellness Committee and Community Action Committee and is part of the firm’s Women and Wealth team.
Blerina earned her bachelor’s degree from the University of Missouri-St. Louis in 2007. She also has previously held the the NASAA Series 63 and NASD Series 7 securities licenses and currently holds the NASA Series 65.
She and her husband, Goran, live in St. Petersburg, FL with their sons, Alex and Dorian.
