Moved beyond theoretical finance into hands-on investment and portfolio analysis within a family office structure, contributing directly to income generation, risk management, and security selection across public markets and derivatives strategies. Key contributions included: * Conducted bottom-up equity and sector research for a multi-strategy family office, producing detailed investment memos that supported new portfolio allocations across equities, thematic plays, and derivatives overlays. * Executed and managed options-based strategies, including covered calls and delta-hedging frameworks, to generate consistent portfolio income while mitigating downside risk and volatility. * Built and maintained valuation and risk models (comparable analysis, scenario and sensitivity analysis) to assess fair value, downside exposure, and hedge effectiveness, directly informing position sizing and trade decisions. * Pioneered the firm’s deep-dive research into the uranium sector, performing extensive fundamental, macro, and thematic due diligence that led to the sector becoming a major allocation within the portfolio. * Designed and tested derivatives trading models integrating fundamental valuation signals with technical indicators to capitalize on volatility regimes and market dislocations. * Applied advanced derivatives techniques—analogous to delta hedging, covered call overlays, and gamma-focused positioning—to improve risk-adjusted returns during periods of elevated market volatility. * Monitored U.S. Treasury markets and clean energy transition themes to identify macro-driven investment opportunities and potential hedges. * Automated elements of data collection and performance reporting using Python and Excel, improving reporting efficiency and reducing manual reconciliation workload.
