TIC Market+ Portfolio Management and Macro Research

My role

I work across two TIC areas. In Market+, I am the Portfolio Manager, coordinating the fund team, structuring research work, reviewing investment theses and guiding portfolio discussions for a student-run simulated fund. In Macro, I monitor USA markets and companies each week and contribute to article/report work that can become part of the TIC Journal, alongside contributions from other TIC departments. The cadence is generally one Macro meeting and one Market+/fund meeting per week.

What I do

Market+ work

As Portfolio Manager for Market+, I help turn company research into structured discussion material for the simulated fund and coordinate the team around the research workflow. That includes understanding business models, choosing relevant metrics, comparing peers, discussing valuation targets and revisiting theses after material updates such as earnings reports. The workflow is broader than a single pitch: it supports both initial fund formation and recurring review of existing ideas.

Macro work

On the macro side, my recurring focus is USA Markets: following American companies and market developments, recording relevant updates in a private Google Sheets workflow and presenting the key points in the macro meeting. Macro also assigns article/report work, sometimes individually and sometimes in teams; those contributions can be combined with work from other TIC departments into the TIC Journal.
