Candidates

Biranavan Lambotharan

I have robust skills in finance, statistics, mathematics, and accounting. These skills have been developed through work experience (such as insight weeks with HSBC Asset Management and Leonardo S.p.A) in conjunction with my study of financial economics, mathematics,  and statistics as a BSc Economics student. This thereby qualifies me to conduct the quantitative problem solving and financial analysis inherent to a Treasurer role.  This combines with my passion for equity research and the hedge fund society, which is why I now pledge to give back as a treasurer.

Andy Liu

Hi! I’m Andy, a second-year Economics student, and I’m running for the position of Treasurer at UCL Hedge Fund Society.

As Director of Business at UCL Economics and Finance Society and Secretary at UCL Consulting Society, I have worked closely with Treasurers in both societies. These experiences have given me a deep appreciation for the role, which is at the core of a society’s success—ensuring strong financial management to support impactful events for members.

As an active participant in UCL Hedge Fund Society, I want to take my commitment beyond just attending events and contribute meaningfully by managing the society’s finances effectively. My key priorities as Treasurer at HFS can be summarised as:

H – Healthy Budgeting
I will ensure sustainable financial planning by managing the society’s funds responsibly, allowing us to host high-quality events throughout the year while maintaining financial stability.

F – Forging Connections
I will actively engage with sponsors and external partners to strengthen industry ties and provide networking opportunities with top employers for our members.

S – Strategic Spending
I will allocate resources efficiently and transparently, ensuring every pound spent contributes maximum value to enhancing your experience in the society.

I am excited about the opportunity to bring financial responsibility, industry connections, and impactful events to UCL Hedge Fund Society. Vote Andy for your Treasurer!

Anthony Pham-Thanh

Hi, I’m Anthony, and I would love to be your treasurer next year.

Since joining UCL, I have been deeply involved in the Hedge Fund Society, first as a Quantitative Strategies Analyst, then as a representative in the UCL Equity Research Competition, where we secured 1st place. I was later promoted to Director of Equity Research, leading our team in a $7,500 international competition, an opportunity I hope to extend to more members through termly inter-society competitions.

As teasurer, I want to expand accessibility and hands-on learning. I will introduce a Hedge Fund Society Boot Camp, giving members at all levels the skills to write high-quality reports, directly applicable to internship interviews and assessment centres. I will also develop the 1st & 2nd-year analyst programmes, ensuring members gain a strong understanding of hedge funds and develop valuable technical skills.

I will launch an Equity Research Journal to publish top research reports, giving students exposure to industry professionals and recruiters. I will also introduce termly long-short portfolio competitions surrounding major events, allowing members to refine trading, risk management, and portfolio allocation skills in a competitive setting.

I am committed to making our society UCL’s largest and most impactful finance society, ensuring that every member has access to the opportunities that shaped my own journey. I would be incredibly grateful for your vote.
