That’s me in a nutshell: a bottom-up and quantitative finance nerd with a strong understanding of how global markets work, the key economic value creation attributes that drive shareholder returns, and how crowd behavior repeatedly infuses markets with irrationality. I dig deep, I am detail-oriented and possess strong communication and presentation skills. If you want to know more, read on! I’m often told that I’m a super nice guy and raconteur extraordinaire, but first and foremost I am a highly qualified and pragmatic research analyst with 20+ years of experience and a solid grasp of fundamental analysis, quantitative finance, behavioral psychology, and financial markets history. I’ve mastered financial modeling and the value-based management methods (CFROIC, ROIC, EVA, etc.) used to identify companies with above-average economic value creation attributes.Leveraging my training in economics and finance, but also behavioral psychology and extensive knowledge of financial markets history, I also excel at capitalizing on sector and stock-specific uptrends driven by profit growth and multiples expansion, while adeptly reversing course when trends shift (e.g. high-tech in 1996-02, housing in 2003-08).Recently, I offered ad-hoc consulting services to high-net-worth individuals focused on capital preservation, empowering them with a robust absolute-return approach using a combination of stocks, ETFs, and occasional hedging. Having suffered from the “remain invested at all times” approach during the debacles of 2001-02 and 2008-09, these investors were all willing to sacrifice a little on the way up, as long as their capital was protected on the way down. Since 1996, I have evolved across different roles in global equity research, covering technology and fintech, capital goods and defense, merchandising and consumer products, construction and engineering, infrastructure, and REITs. At Canaccord, I ranked at the top of my peer groups by Brendan Woods for quality of research (#1 or #2), quality of investment ideas (#1 or #2), and quality of written reports (#3), and I was also awarded the “Rising Star” accolade. I was also the Starmine #2 Retail Top Stock Picker in 2006.I hold an MSc in Applied Finance and a BSc in Economics from the École des Sciences de la Gestion (UQAM), graduating at the top of my class (with GPAs of 3.7 and 3.8, respectively). I also completed coursework for an MSc in Applied Economics at HEC, where I was the first runner-up for an entrance scholarship, based on the excellence of my undergraduate academic profile.
