Martin Yau

Aspiring Analyst and Investor in Hampshire, UK

Hire me

My mission is to build and manage a portfolio of early-stage and more mature businesses in various industries with potential and proven means to tackle climate change.

Before I can commit to this mission, my immediate quest is to transition from my current role to an Analytical one in the investment management industry.

I first became interested in the financial markets during the uncertainty surrounding the 2003 Gulf War. I started to invest in the stock market with my funds. I achieved actual returns before I delegated the management of my equity portfolio to a Robo advisor to spend more time on self-development and managing my private equity and cryptoasset portfolios. The latter two portfolios are currently achieving paper returns.

After I finished my degree in Maths with Economics, I started networking with banking and finance students, graduates and professionals. The Economics as part of my degree led to my genuine interest in the investment management industry.

As I've never worked in this industry, I began to research the industry further and level up my commercial understanding together with identifying my personality trait and latent skill sets which would suit this sector and my ideal role.

This inspired me to get involved with a banking and finance training and consultancy firm whereby I had enrolled on a course. I also completed professional courses and qualifications related to investment management.

The above allowed me to level up my commercial and technical knowledge together with my interest in investment management assisted me in finding my preferred role. Working in various roles allowed me to gain necessary transferable skills.

I’m connected with above people globally through investment societies, alumni and banking and finance professional networking groups. I am also actively involved with economists and alternative finance professionals. I participate in conferences, seminars and workshops that are related to investment management.

I’m most suited to an entry level analytical role within an investment management firm who wish to employ me as an aspiring analyst. My qualifications have given me the confidence to understand complex mathematics and to be able to observe financial models, build sophisticated Excel spreadsheets and have very strong and methodical analytical skills.

I believe I will make a suitable candidate to any organisation that is looking to hire an aspiring analyst.

To connect with me, please feel free to do so.
