“How does Meritas help young professionals build real investment skills and merit-based portfolios that land them high-paying jobs?” For context, a lot of thoughtful research and risk management is involved when you scale positions to build fundamental long-short portfolios in the real world. Those skills are very difficult to quantify without an auditor track record, which is the gold standard for hiring portfolio managers and analysts in our industry. I have hired and fired thousands of portfolio managers as an investor in the last 15 years; none had an auditor track record because their employers owned their portfolios. That's a problem in our industry. That makes it difficult for, let’s say, a sales assistant to jump to an investment management position. Or if you start in healthcare and biotech, it makes it difficult to switch your sector. Now, Meritas helps folks build their investment skills by helping them: - build virtual stock and crypto portfolios in their chosen sector as they would in an actual hedge fund or investment bank, - track their risk management and research skills, and - land high-paying jobs in elite financial firms. They can use their virtual portfolio as their auditor track record to eventually land a high-paying job with one of our cash competitors. That’s great for hiring managers, too, as they can find great junior talents based on their merit rather than pedigree, what school they went to, and who they know.
