Rigorous position sizing, risk management, and a documented investment process that mirrors institutional standards.
Mentorship
One‑on‑one alumni mentorship pairing underclassmen with professionals at top‑tier banks, private equity firms, and hedge funds.
Philanthropy
Over $40,000 contributed to causes, primarily St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.
