I've been doing this since I was sixteen — first with paper trades,
then with the family book, then with capital that wasn't mine. Five
years later, I'm still not sure I know what I'm doing — and I think
that's the point.
The day I stop being uncertain is the day I should worry.
Thanks for digging. If you got here, you're my kind of recruiter.
A finance graduate focused on equity research, portfolio analysis, and risk-managed market participation. Five years of independent investing on the PSX, externally validated trading discipline across funded proprietary programs.
The market did not need to be predicted this month — it needed to be respected. Capital came home in size, the index ran, and the temptation was to chase. I sat in the names I already knew, sized them against a risk budget I'd already written down, and let the work I'd done over the prior quarter do the heavy lifting.
Selected long-only PSX equity book, August 2025 through January 2026. +43.0% vs +31.9% for the KSE-100 over the same window. Same currency, same market — roughly 11 points of alpha.
Every position walks the same path. Hover a node to see what happens at that step. Most ideas don't make it through, and that's exactly the point.
Most of public markets work reduces to the same question — what is this worth, and where does the order book agree? I approach it from three directions.
Form a defensible thesis with numbers, not narrative. Test it against comps, scenarios, and the next earnings release.
Read the regime before reading the chart. The wrong macro window kills a right idea; the right one carries a half-decent one.
Where the order book actually agrees, sized against a budget I can defend. Process compounds; conviction without it doesn't.
Three artifacts I've built and use. Each one is real — a research report I wrote, a screener that still runs, a macro calendar I read every week.
The next three years, mapped. Each credential is a deliberate choice — buy-side research, Canadian licensing, technical analysis, practical modelling. Stacked, not scattered. Where I am today is the floor, not the ceiling.
Currently looking for early-career roles in equity research, investment analysis, portfolio analysis, trading, and market strategy. Happy to chat about markets, models, or trade ideas — even if you're not hiring.
