Meet The Team
Bhuvan
Co-CIO, CEO

Sterling as a project to institutionalize the disciplined, fundamentals driven approach he refined while managing the Sinn Fund (a $5 million multi strategy hedge fund) at Texas A&M and interning on equity trading desks at Kershner Trading Group. His leadership stems from past roles as Scholars of Finance chapter president and organizer of TAMU’s student finance conference, where he refined his talent for mentoring analysts and promoting values driven decision making.
