ABOUT ME
Hi, I’m Naman. I research markets and build trading systems.
I’m Naman Rathi, a Finance and Accounting student at Penn State University with an expected graduation in 2027. I’m interested in investment research, portfolio risk, and systematic trading.
My projects combine market analysis, data, and software to make investment decisions easier to explain, evaluate, and improve.
MY APPROACH
Three perspectives I bring to research
Investment Research
Understand the investment thesis, business drivers, valuation questions, and sources of potential risk.
Systematic Testing
Build clear signal rules, validate assumptions, and compare outcomes with an appropriate benchmark.
Practical Tools
Translate repeated decisions into systems that support planning, portfolio records, and review.
EXPERIENCE THROUGH PROJECTS
Research becomes more useful when it can be tested and reviewed
Building VN Trading
VN Trading is my trading journal and portfolio decision workspace. It connects trade planning, portfolio accounting, analysis, and structured reviews so that each result can be traced back to the original decision.
Developing this app reinforced the value of organized records, data reconciliation, risk rules, and a repeatable review process.
