What I'm looking for

I seek an entry-level equity research or financial analyst role where I can apply industry mapping, valuation and quantitative modeling skills, contribute to investment decisions, and grow within a collaborative, research-driven team.

I am a Master in Financial Analysis graduate from London Business School with a strong foundation in finance from Renmin University of China (GPA 3.7/4.0, First Class Honor, merit-based scholarship) and a semester exchange at the University of Hong Kong.

I have hands-on equity research and industry analysis experience from internships at Citic Securities, China Securities and Deloitte China, where I assessed tech industry trends, produced equity research reports, maintained revenue forecast models, constructed industry-chain maps for CICS, and initiated a three-stage entry strategy for quantitative investment.

I have led projects as Vice President of Model United Nations and volunteered as a project consultant conducting impact investment evaluations. I am proficient in Microsoft Office Suite, Wind database, R, Stata and EViews, and I bring analytical rigor, clear research communication, and a collaborative mindset to investment and industry-analysis roles.
