Bridging Theory
and Practice

Hi, I'm Lurax. A CFA Charterholder and Quant Researcher based in Shanghai. This site is my digital garden for financial models and investment philosophy.

Who am I?

I started my journey into finance with a background in Computer Science. The CFA curriculum was my bridge to understanding the language of Wall Street.

"The purpose of learning isn't to pass an exam, but to build a framework for viewing the world. I created this blog to document that framework."

My Journey

2021

Started CFA Level I

While working as a Data Analyst, I decided to pivot to Finance. Passed with >90th percentile.

2022

Cleared Level II

The hardest part. Focused heavily on FSA and Equity Valuation models.

Earned the Charter

Passed Level III and completed work experience requirements. Officially a CFA Charterholder.
