About Hangyu Zhou

Hello, my name is Hangyu Zhou, and I\'m a senior at UC San Diego majoring in Business Economics, passionate about leveraging AI to redefine investing and financial analysis. As an independent portfolio manager and equity analyst, I\'ve constructed a tech-focused portfolio that achieved a 45% return by 2024, outperforming major indices. I\'ve authored extensive equity research reports on companies like NVIDIA and Tesla, underpinned by rigorous analysis documented in my 100-page trading journal. Driven by AI\'s transformative potential in finance, I\'ve developed custom OpenAI tools accelerating market analysis by 5x through intelligent prompt engineering. Most recently, as a Finance Analyst at AfterQuery, I benchmarked and fine-tuned AI models, creating precise financial prompts to enhance LLM accuracy in analyzing 10-K filings and annual reports, ranking in the top 25% among peers. Previously, I interned at Transamerica as a Personal Business Asset Planner, automating retirement product research using AI and optimizing client portfolios through asset allocation models. Additionally, as CFO of SchoolServe, I\'ve developed financial strategies to improve educational resources, a cause close to my heart. I\'m currently working as a Dealflow Analyst at Loupt. I am fluent in English and Mandarin, I\'m always open to connecting about markets, technology, or career opportunities!
