"I am currently a senior investment consultant of a listed company. I am in charge of algorithmic trading and wealth management for high-net-worth clients. I have obtained professional qualifications, including Financial Risk Manager (FRM), Certified Professional Wealth Manager (CPWM) and Certified Anti-Money Laundering Specialist (CAMS).

Throughout my four years of study at HKU, I have acquired extensive knowledge and skills in risk management. I have learnt probability and statistics, financial instruments and portfolio management, credit risk and market risk analysis that are applicable to my work. For example, I hedge market risks with options; construct optimal portfolios for clients; and evaluate investment performance using various risk metrics. Thanks to the summer course about programming skills for data analysis offered by the Department of Statistics and Actuarial Science (SAAS), I have mastered SAS, Excel VBA and SQL that enable me to perform financial modeling and make prudent investment decisions.

I am grateful to SAAS for the Career Advising Program (CAP) that provides me with career talks, company visits, alumni sharing, CV consultation and mock interviews, so I can familiarize myself with the risk management industry and better prepare for job hunting. With such fruitful resources, I have a clearer and more expedient career path to achieve my life goals.
