While shadowing the firm founder/CEO, I reviewed legal documents, probed investor sentiment, & analyzed the market in order to help launch a new fund focused on Japanese art. I used Excel & Powerpoint to compare and visualize different fund strategies in order to optimize earnings for a particular group of clients, then presented my conclusions to the firm at large.
