Frequently Asked Questions
How do I present performance numbers appropriately?
We'll help you present returns in context, showing benchmark-relative performance, risk-adjusted metrics (Sharpe, Sortino), and time periods. Compliance-friendly framing is essential, and we understand the nuances.
Should I include my CFA designation?
Absolutely, CFA is highly valued in asset management. We'll ensure proper placement and formatting per CFA Institute guidelines. If you're a candidate, we'll appropriately note your progress.
I'm transitioning from sell-side. Can you help?
Yes. Sell-side to buy-side transitions are common. We'll help you reframe your coverage experience to emphasize investment judgment, idea generation, and analytical depth rather than client service.
How do you handle different asset classes?
Whether you're in equities, fixed income, alternatives, or multi-asset, we tailor feedback to your specific asset class. The metrics and language differ between a credit analyst and an equity PM.
