Chris Moreno, CFA

I'm a former hedge fund equity analyst currently managing my own and my family's investments. I'm an investor, not a trader and have a strong value-orientation.

I worked for 2 years on the buy side at a large multi-strategy hedge fund with just under $1 billion in AUM. In this role I served as an equity / credit analyst as part of the value equity team. I acted as a generalist diving into multiple industries (e.g. tech, consumer goods, consumer services, energy, telecom, healthcare, and financials) with the intent to find securities with a large gap between their intrinsic value and their current market price. We generally focused on companies with strong balance sheets, good management, solid competitive ...More positions, and most importantly, a discounted price.

Prior to that, I worked at a large global investment bank on their prop desk. In this role, I traded both equity and credit. Before joining the buy side, I worked for four years in a publishing role at another large global investment bank covering brokers and asset managers. Prior to entering finance, I worked as a management consultant at one of the large global consulting firms.

I am also a CFA charterholder.
