      Analyst

      The Global Equity Fund is a student run fund within the University of Maryland's Smith School of Business. As an analyst I performed the following roles:Researched the economies and markets of countries such as South Africa, the United Kingdom, and Hong Kong, for investment opportunities.Completed analysis of companies and industries, especially financial services, using top-down macroeconomic approach and discounted cash flows when applicable. Selected companies, such as Prudential PLC, led above average returns over the course year.Monitored positions both inherited by the fund and selected over the academic year. This included constant research and updating of financials after each quarterly report. Dilligent reporting avoided taking on risky positions in South Africa market and realizing a 20%+ loss in Molson-Coors holding. Show less
