Objective :

The project aim to challenge student to showcase Python coding ability, data wrangling skills and link Python with Finance. It focuses on the implementation of code in python modules using Spyder that provides a solution to a generalised problem.

Overview :

I designed and built a Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) model application. By using this applications, user able to have a good idea on the expected return of the stock market and analyse the market risk while investing in a particular stock.

Objective :

This equity research report provide me an opportunity to critically analyse the information available in the market , and most importantly learn how analysts form opinions on the pricing of individual assets and convey their thoughts to others.

Overview :

Through my in-depth researched on LULULEMON company during 1st March - 22nd April 2024, I analyse the company through their operational , financial and social aspect to make informed decision to BUY, HOLD or SELL the company. For example, SWOT analysis, Porter 5 Force analysis, DCF valuation and relative valuation is performed through the equity research report. I believe this would enable investor to gain more insight on LULULEMON company and the athleisure industry.

Econometrics Project

Objective:

The project aim to develop student skills on R-programming to analyse real world financial data and build regression model to explore what factors determines stock price changes. Applying 12 weeks of knowledge learned through Econometrics, I able to perform statstical analysis on panel data regression with fixed effect and random effect.

Overview:

Leveraging R-programming , I tidied the financial data , build several graph to display the relationship between variables and analyse the result coherently. Reflecting on the project, I explore on the “why” behind every steps, rather than doing things as required. The questioning process was tough but allows me to delve deeper and think outside of the box.

🖥️ Project 4

Cryptocurrency Essay

Cryptocurrencies

Objective:

This essay aim to develop academic writing skills , learning how to critically appraise the statement ‘Cryptocurrencies are not money’. The essay draw on the relevant material from the lectures and literature to thoughtfully examine the accuracy of the above statement.

Overview:

The ongoing debate on virtual currency scrutinizes cryptocurrencies' viability as money, evaluating their adherence to monetary functions. In my opinion, cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum fails to perform the money function, which is the generally accepted medium of exchange, a reliable store of value, and a stable unit of account. Criticism stems from their low transaction volumes, high volatility, and impracticality for everyday transactions. Hence, I believe these failure to meet these criteria casts doubt on their suitability as viable money.
