Experience
Associate Director, Sr. Portfolio Manager
Multi-Act
May 2021 – Present
As an associate director, I set the medium- and long-term goals for the quant team as well as the impact of the team's goals in the firm's future. I implement the short term strategies to reach the goals in a timely manner, and add any course correction required to achieve the goals. My team is now exploring research that addresses the asset allocation conundrum as well as valuation of non-equity asset classes like Real Estate and Currencies. The historical methods of evaluating these asset classes consists of technical analysis or simple balance sheet-based calculations. We are now testing various econometric and machine learning models to evaluate the true value of such assets where fundamental data is sparse or difficult to assess.
Sr. Analyst – Quants & Portfolio Manager
Multi-Act
Oct 2017 – Apr 2021
So far, we have tested more than 120 investment strategies. Combining the learnings from this vast back-test, Multi-Act launched one of India’s very few quantitative investment fund called ‘Sankhya India Portfolio’ designed using proprietary quantitative investment strategy, and I took on the role of Portfolio Manager in addition to my previous duties. As the Portfolio Manager, I am responsible for investing in equities and fixed income instruments for my clients. Allocating resources to appropriate asset classes is a key differentiator of performance of fund managers. I am now researching various global asset classes for determining the optimum balance of asset allocation – which will be different for various types of investors - using advanced statistical techniques such as Markov Chain Analysis. I am now tackling complex problems such as separating the skill & luck portion of a portfolio’s returns, optimizing asset allocation as per the risk return characteristics of available investments etc by using advanced numerical methods. I am also advising external organizations on using statistical tools properly in their products of investment analysis or performance reporting.
