Hi, I’m Alex! I focus on European financials and high-tech industries (mainly fintech, pharma, and medtech). My background goes from investor relations for tech startups, through mutual fund strategy divisions in Germany, to quantitative risk and derivatives analytics. I hold a Master in Management (Data & Business Analytics) from the Frankfurt School of Finance & Management and I’m currently working toward the CFA and FRM. My personal investing approach: I invest mainly long, with derivative overlays for hedging and risk control. My goal is to mix quantitative models with fundamental research, with the goal to understand the drivers behind companies and test whether their growth stories hold up in numbers. What I Write About: • Sectors: Financials, fintech, pharma, medtech • Focus: Small industry studies and equity research • Method: Select an industry, build a set of comparable firms, talk to people in the field (non-insider), map the main drivers, and weigh growth potential against valuation • Output: My view on whether a company fits into a solid long-term portfolio My goal is learning: I write on Seeking Alpha to share my learning process – connecting data, markets, and practitioner insights. I’m not trying to predict markets, but to understand them better and help others do the same.
