About

I am currently working in the field of Public Credit specifically in CLOs, Lev Loans and Liquid Loans as Products for European and US Markets. I have studied this field in depth and covered all aspects of the portfolio. When it comes to Research, I have heavily utilised my skills in Python (for writing Cleaning, Pre-Processing and Strategising), SQL (for Data Sourcing) and Excel (for Charts). Had already worked on deconstruction of Loans as well as High Yields vis a vis their returns over Daily, Monthly and Quarterly data since 2015. Started my career in this field with JP Morgan, I have completed CFA Level 1 and B.Tech & M.Tech from IIT Kharagpur. Let's connect if you have a passion towards Public Credit, CLOs, Lev Loans , Private Credit and Other Derivatives products in your portfolio.
