September 2022 -2023. This one year has been the most incredible year if my life. Coming to an entirely different country to complete my masters degree was daunting to say the least. I met a lot of incredible people and made friends for life.
I learned a lot, explored new things and worked many nights to complete my assignments and projects which at the end enabled me to secure the highest Distinction in Management and Finance.
My most notable achievement in this degree was scoring the highest grade for the Investments model final submission. We had to analyse the Russell 1000 US index and estimate the returns during different market scenarios. I also conducted a regression analysis of JP Morgan stock and analysed the risk characteristics of the stock as compared to the index as a whole. A lot of days were spent completing the assignment conducting fundamental analysis of the stock and informing investment decisions according to the different risk characteristics of an investor. At the end the feedback and score were more than enough to offset the effort required for it.
Snapshot of the year from my resume:
- Completed Master's program with modules of Corporate Finance, Investments, and Financial Management.
- Studied within an internationally diverse cohort of students and developed interpersonal skills.
- I was awarded Distinction for excellent academic performance and I ranked in the top 10% of my cohort (Dean's List).
