As an Investment Analyst at J O Hambro Capital Management, I conduct in-depth evaluation of the UK Housing Industry fundamentals, utilizing various equity valuation methods, such as Price to Earnings, Dividend Yield, and Discounted Cash Flow. I collaborate effectively with senior fund managers and executives of leading organizations in the industry, delivering comprehensive reports and summaries to inform their investment decisions.

I am also pursuing a Master of Science in Financial Analysis and Fund Management at the University of Exeter Business School, where I learn from renowned faculty and industry experts, and apply my skills and knowledge to real-world scenarios and projects. I have previously worked as a Summer Analyst at AmplifyME, where I managed a virtual portfolio of European equities, achieving an ROI of 83.6% and 90.5% for different strategies. I also created a client-ready M&A advisory deck in just 24 hours, ranking 5th out of 81 participants. Before that, I was an Associate 2 at KPMG Global Services, where I developed and reviewed financial documents for US clients, resulting in a 15% increase in hourly revenue. I am a CFA aspirant and have multiple certifications in accounting and finance from CFI. I am looking for opportunities to further develop my skills and competencies in buy-side and sell-side research, equity research, fund consulting, or S&T roles in the United Kingdom post graduation.

I conducted a thorough evaluation of the fundamentals of the UK Housing Industry, showcasing my proficiency in performing in-depth analyses. Utilizing Multi-Equity Valuation Methods, including Price to Earnings, Dividend Yield, and Discounted Cash Flow, I demonstrated strong skills in various valuation approaches. Furthermore, I performed ESG integration for Bellway Plc, focusing on carbon emissions and net-zero strategy, aligning with TCFD, COP 3, CSRD, ISSB, and the EU sustainable directive. In addition, I collaborated with Finance Directors and senior fund managers of prominent organizations in the industry, gaining insights into their short-term and mid-term growth plans. This experience underscores my ability to effectively engage with senior stakeholders and contribute meaningfully to sector-specific analyses.

I completed my MSc. in Financial Analysis & Fund Management at the University of Exeter from September 2022 to September 2023, achieving a Merit with a score of 69%. During this period, I served as a Portfolio Analyst for the Exeter Student Investment Fund from October 2022 to June 2023. In this role, I honed my skills in financial analysis, contributing to the optimization of returns for the real money fund. I successfully constructed a beta-neutral portfolio, incorporating alternative investments, and provided valuable investment recommendations. Through effective collaboration with team members and stakeholders, I played a key role in securing funding for the real money fund, enhancing my leadership and interpersonal abilities.
