Farid Aliani has over 13 years of experience in equity research, portfolio management, investment banking, and conglomerate strategy. He completed his BBA with dual concentrations in Finance and MIS from IBA Karachi and has been a CFA Charterholder since 2014. Farid has extensively managed investments in both public and private equity and debt capital markets across emerging and frontier spaces. His core competency lies in fundamental equity research and equity portfolio management, complemented by thorough macroeconomic, sovereign, and corporate debt analysis. While favoring a long-term investment approach, he also exploits short-term mispricing due to event risks, often using derivatives to enhance returns. His strategy focuses on capital protection and steady growth, advantageously exploiting opportunities without depending entirely on them. This approach suits investors seeking high Sharpe and information ratios rather than just high alpha.
