Background

About Paul Schenk

I am a highly experienced buy-side equity analyst with a strong stock-picking track record. Having started my buy-side career in the wake of the financial crisis at Newton Investment Management as a global financials research analyst, I have since transitioned into a generalist US equities analyst, joining Findlay Park Partners as a senior investment analyst in January 2018. I am passionate about investing and relish the puzzle-solving that comes with putting together a robust investment thesis. I consider it a privilege to work in the investment industry, which allows me to translate my natural curiosity about the world around me into actionable insights, brings constant variety to my working day, and affords me the joy of meeting with company senior management and quizzing them about their business and corporate strategy. I consider myself to be a strong communicator with the ability to build buy-in at all levels across organisations. I am a team-player but believe that having the conviction to articulate and back my own original investment ideas is of equal importance. Prior specialist industry knowledge working in several roles within the banking and insurance sectors, covering credit risk research, new deal origination within structured finance, portfolio management, and project management. Generalist financial & risk modelling, analysis, and pricing skills. Educated to a post-graduate level in finance and a CFA charterholder. Specialties: Investment Analysis and Fund Management, US Equities, Global Banks and Non-Banking Sector, Credit risk, Financial Modelling, Reporting, and Project Management.
