Navigating the Finance Landscape: A 2023 Reflection on My Ellerston Capital Internship Journey Navigating the Finance Landscape: A 2023 Reflection on My Ellerston Capital Internship Journey As I step into the new year of 2024, I find myself in a reflective mood, pondering the invaluable lessons garnered during my investment analyst internship at Ellerston Capital from February to May 2023. Affectionately known as 'Mr. Mocha' during my Ellerston Capital internship, I earned the title for my unwavering preference for mocha coffee. The guidance of Investment Manager Chris Kourtis and Senior Investment Analyst Stephen Giubin has been instrumental in shaping my understanding of the finance industry. Chris Kourtis, a luminary in finance, director and portfolio manager of Ellerston Capital and Australian Shares Fund, provided insights that extended beyond the conventional. Morning meetings at 9:00 AM, accompanied by quick coffees and discussions on the latest news, set the tone for strategic decision-making. Chris's vast experience and induction into the Australian Fund Managers Foundation Hall of Fame in 2018 left an indelible mark on my approach to investment and investor relation. Working alongside Stephen Giubin, a seasoned Large Caps Senior Investment Analyst, enriched my skill set with techniques such as DCF, EV/EBITDA, and diverse valuation methodologies tailored to specific industries. I had the privilege of attending meetings with Investment Banks such as Morgan Stanley alongside Stephen Giubin, where our collaborative insights brought valuable perspectives to the table too. Leveraging tools like Factset, I gained practical experience in conducting thorough analysis and valuations for leading Australian large-cap stocks. Assisting the Australian Share Fund, my tasks included investor relation activities, such as crafting investor relation reports and facilitating communications with stakeholders. Additionally, I engaged in in-depth equity research, market analysis, financial modeling, and risk assessment. The collaborative spirit fostered during morning meetings and coffee sessions not only facilitated learning but also forged lasting professional connections. The enduring advice from Chris and Stephen "Don't fight the fed" continues to resonate as a guiding principle in my finance journey. As I traverse into 2024, I carry with me the wealth of knowledge and experiences gained at Ellerston Capital. The mentorship of Chris Kourtis and Stephen Giubin, coupled with the camaraderie built over morning coffees, has propelled me forward on my finance journey. Here's to a new year of growth, learning, and further exploration in the dynamic world of finance. #NewYearReflections #FinanceJourney #EllerstonCapital #InternshipExperience
