About

As the Head of Research at Fisdom, a leading fintech platform for wealth management, I lead a team of analysts and portfolio managers who provide insights, recommendations, and solutions on various asset classes, products, and markets. With almost a decade of experience in the financial sector, I have a strong background in global and domestic macroeconomics, equity and fixed income markets, product research and fund manager selection, and credit analytics and ratings. My mission is to deliver high-quality and actionable research that enables our clients to make informed and smart investment decisions, and to develop and maintain optimal asset and product allocation strategies that suit their needs and goals. My span of control also includes equity technical and fundamental analysis to provide positional, intraday, and derivatives strategies for retail investors. I am passionate about numbers, behavior, words, and everything in between, and I constantly seek to learn, grow, and innovate in the dynamic and evolving field of finance.
