The most important part of my research process is grit. 

Building a research platform that is enduring, flexible, robust and constantly provides leverage to investors requires an unrelenting commitment to innovation. 

This is my dream job! 

I get to collaborate with the brightest minds in the industry to attack a broad array of research questions. I love developing expertise in new areas and creating research solutions that give our investors a unique edge. 

Fail fast. 

Any time you are breaking new ground it’s fraught with failure, so don’t beat yourself up about it. Fail fast and move on to the next task, especially if you feel what you are doing is important.
