Financial Analyst | Investment & Quantitative Equity Research | Factor Modeling, Valuation & Multi-Horizon Forecasting

United States

About

I am a Financial Analyst with a strong focus on investment research, quantitative analysis, and factor-based equity modeling across public markets. My work spans both quantitative and fundamental research. On the quantitative side, I build multi-factor equity models incorporating valuation, profitability, growth, momentum, and risk signals. I generate cross-sectional rankings and decile-based expected return forecasts across multiple horizons, including 1-month, 6-month, 12-month, and long-term (~254 trading-day) periods. I also conduct market heat and regime analysis to evaluate crowding, volatility sensitivity, and risk concentration. On the fundamental side, I perform financial statement analysis across income statements, balance sheets, and cash flows, and apply valuation frameworks to ensure quantitative signals remain economically grounded. My approach emphasizes disciplined research processes, robustness, and interpretability rather than short-term speculation. I have experience building end-to-end research pipelines using Python, including data cleaning, factor construction, performance validation, and insight generation. My work mirrors institutional buy-side research practices, combining data-driven analysis with financial reasoning to support investment decision-making. I am actively seeking Financial Analyst, Investment Analyst, or Research Analyst roles in asset management, investment research, or analytical finance teams where rigorous research and long-term thinking are valued.
