I was still working for myself as a trader at the end of last year when I decided to move down to Miami with one of my best friends from college. Having spent years in California and then New York, this seemed like the perfect place for me to go next. I’ve had a wonderful year in the city and, especially after moving around so much in the past few years, I think I’ve found a great place to stay put. Since the spring I’ve been working as an Investment Data Analyst for the global wealth and asset management firm, AlTi Global. After spending the last two years in the cryptocurrency space, I thought it’d be a great decision to take a job in traditional finance. Our firm has a large number of clients with portfolios invested in an array of private equity funds. My responsibility is to analyze the data held on the capital flows into and out of these funds over the last decade and calculate the performance of each of our client’s portfolios. I was hired as a contractor and the original scope of the project was set to just be a few months, but it’s been going very well and the firm has continued to expand the scale of the work they want me to complete. I’ve really loved my time there and have a wonderful group of coworkers. Outside of my work in the office, I’ve begun working with one of my friends from college that started his own real estate investment firm. We live together here in Miami, so it’s a wonderful experience learning about a new industry and working on an exciting entrepreneurial venture with one of my good friends. I’m very excited for the year ahead!
