What I'm looking for

I am looking for a dynamic role that offers growth opportunities and challenges in investment management.

I am an experienced investment advisor and trader with a proven track record in executing daily trade orders and optimizing client portfolios. Currently, I work at Argosy Securities Inc., where I have successfully spearheaded a 21% increase in assets under management through strategic client acquisition and effective trade execution. My role involves analyzing market movements and advising clients on asset allocation adjustments, ensuring compliance with CIRO regulations.

Previously, I served as an investment analyst at New Berry Advisors Ltd. in Mumbai, where I conducted equity research and built dynamic valuation models for both private and public companies. My efforts in business development initiatives in emerging markets significantly enhanced portfolio diversification and liquidity options. I hold a Master of Commerce and have completed several certifications, including the Chartered Financial Analyst Level 1 and Certified Financial Planner.
