My passion for financial markets started at a young age, and I have been investing since 2007.Later on, I studied Economics and started as a buy-side equity research analyst. After studying for a Master’s Degree in Economic Analysis and working as an accountant, I assumed the position of CFO for a holding company that operates in pharma, medical devices, textiles, food industry, and real estate.My experience as CFO has helped me to understand the ins and outs of a company from the management perspective and some accounting tricks that are not taught at university, which now help me to dive deep into the accounting of the companies. I'm currently teaching "Derivatives for risk management" and "Investment analysis" at the Master's Degree in Financial Management (Open University of Catalonia).My mission is to identify the best quality companies with competitive advantages that can compound their cash flow exponentially and are trading at a fair price. I look for profitable businesses, operating in a growing sector, with high returns on capital, expanding margins, low debt, and management with skin in the game. I wish to provide my readers with a deep analysis where I explain the company's business model, the dynamics of the market, competition, financials, and management. Furthermore, I apply valuation measures (multiples and DCF) and qualitative analysis to determine expected growth and give readers a competitive advantage. Even if I look for the most recent developments, my investing approach is focused on the long-term in companies that can deploy capital at high ROIC for some years ahead.
