Recently elected Vice President of the Blue Hen Investment Club, the University of Delaware's $1.5 million large-cap equity fund. As a member of the five member executive board I work to manage all activities of the fund with an individual focus analyst education and training. Prior to my role as Vice President, I was elected to the position of Sector Head within the Health Care sector, managing roughly $225,000. Alongside seven analysts, I focused our sector on biotechnology and medical devices. In the 12 months that I managed the sector I generated 375 basis points in alpha over the S&P Health Care benchmark. We utilize numerous tools including discounted cash flow, regression, and qualitative analysis to build investing themes and pitches. If you would like to discuss our current holdings and long term strategy within the sector, please reach out to me. We are always looking for guest speakers to share their insight on investing, strategy, and the markets.
