"Savvy" means knowledgeable, in the know. It is often used in investing to refer to someone who has been around the block a few times, someone who is not likely to be fooled into making bad choices, someone who knows the ins and outs of an investment opportunity.
"Savvy" implies not only the possession of knowledge, but also an element of shrewdness in approaching a situation.

I do believe it can mean: Do you understand, or "got it"? Usually used in this manner in the UK. If you have seen any of the Pirates of the Caribbean movies, Johnny Dep's "Capt' Jack Sparrow" often uses the word in this context.
Savvy?

The word savvy means understanding: the cognitive condition of someone who understands; "he has virtually no understanding of social cause and effect" OR grok: get the meaning of something; "Do you comprehend the meaning of this letter?"
