‘Over the last few months, I worked as an Investment Management Intern at Value Partners, an independent fund and asset management firm listed in Hong Kong since 1993.

I was assigned under credit research and strategy and was mainly responsible for conducting market research and projects on issuers. To make investment decisions, track records and future expectations are crucial, thus my job was to assess companies’ performance by evaluating the past and conducting financial forecasts. Apart from that, I gained valuable chances to participate in Roadshows and quarterly meetings of various companies.

Throughout the internship, I have had more understanding of the buy-side, with knowledge on financial modeling, analysis, and forecast. Through collaborations and meetings, precious relationships with colleagues were built and maintained.

I would like to express my gratitude to the GLEF program, for always providing us with academic and career support. The flexible study scheme in which we could allocate our credits to economics and finance electives according to our area of interest allows us to gain prior knowledge before getting into the industry.’
