Equity L/S Analyst | Forensic Accounting | India, Yellowstone Equity

Ankit Agrawal, CFA

I possess investment research experience across asset classes and geographies, acquired at Investcorp (New York) and Howe & Rusling (Rochester). At Investcorp, an alternative asset manager, I was part of an investment team managing >$1bn in discretionary client assets. I was also a member of investment recommendation, monitoring, cross-asset strategy and macro outlook committees that met periodically for investment decisions and top-down views. At Howe & Rusling, a long-only asset manager, I helped cover US large-cap equity investments across sectors for growth and income focused portfolios as well as assisted in managing a US small-cap growth focused equity portfolio. I possess an MBA in finance and corporate accounting from University of Rochester in US, a CFA Charter, and an Engineering degree from Indian Institute of Technology Bombay in India.  

My current focus is L/S equity fundamental research across market cap and sectors with an eye on corporate governance and forensic accounting. I am currently based in India and my current coverage universe is biased towards India.

Demand environment remains robust despite recessionary fears in US and Europe. Demand is being driven by structural factors like shift in the business model towards enterprise-wide digital transformation.
One of the biggest headwinds - attrition - has now peaked and is trending downwards. Job market has cooled off and salaries of new hires have become reasonable.
While the demand outlook and margin guidance is resilient, we estimate that the current valuations are fairly pricing the optimism. Projected IRRs are likely to be subdued from here on.
