BH ASSET MANAGEMENT, LLC Greenwich, CT
Quantitative Analyst Aug 2019 – Dec 2019
• Model Development: Built a stock scoring model framework in VBA for factor analysis; Provided portfolio manager with model results as benchmark of existing strategies
• Data Engineering: Responsible for interfacing with Bloomberg terminal and other data vendors to perform the data collection, data cleaning, data exploration and data loading
• Data Analysis: Performed time series analysis on individual stock price by consolidating fundamental data and pricing data. Adapted SQL to perform aggregation analysis and batched weekly/monthly analytical report to support the portfolio manager.
• Model Validation: Applied historical Monte Carlo Simulation to perform P/L analysis to design and optimize existing strategy; Compared and validated existing index-tracking strategies by analyzing model’s tracking error. DISCIPLINED ALPHA LLC Boston, MA
Capstone Project May 2019 – Jul 2019
• Infrastructure: Facilitated the research by designing and implementing the architecture of a back-testing engine in Python that accepts data input from csv.
• Alpha Research: Applied Logistic Regression and feature engineering to build a robust scoring system. Developed a long/short equity strategy based on the scoring system and won first prize among 6 teams.
• Model Validation: Adapted cross-validation and rolling validation to validate model performance.
