Methodology

My workflow is designed around transparency, reproducibility, and analytical rigor. Each step is documented to ensure that results are interpretable and auditable.

Step-by-Step Quantitative Workflow

1) Data Collection

Identify the analytical objective and select appropriate data sources and time horizons. Data may include asset prices, returns, benchmarks, and macro-financial indicators.

2) Data Cleaning and Validation

Apply systematic checks for missing values, inconsistent timestamps, outliers, and corporate-action distortions. Data transformations are documented to preserve traceability.

3) Statistical and Financial Analysis

Compute and analyze key market diagnostics including returns, volatility, correlations, distribution properties, and relevant risk indicators, using consistent statistical definitions.

4) Portfolio Modeling and Allocation

Construct candidate allocations and evaluate diversification properties, constraints, and measurable risk-return trade-offs. Portfolio analytics are presented with explicit assumptions and limitations.

5) Risk Assessment

Quantify risk using volatility, drawdowns, Value-at-Risk (VaR), and scenario-based stress diagnostics. Risk outputs are interpreted in relation to the portfolio objective and data properties.

6) Monitoring and Rebalancing

Implement a monitoring framework for allocation drift, risk changes, and performance relative to benchmarks. Rebalancing logic is rule-based and documented for transparency.

Transparency Clear definitions, measurable metrics, explicit assumptions.
Reproducibility Documented workflows and consistent computation steps.
Rigor Methods aligned with quantitative finance practice.
Decision-Support Analytical outputs designed to inform, not to advise.
