Dark Side of Finance

Video Transcript

Andrew Sutherland, ’13: 00:09 In accounting, there's tons and tons of research on these big public firms that have an army of investor relations people and they constant disclosing things. That's where most of the research was happening, but there's this whole other half of the economy, these private firms, that we didn't really know a lot about. We didn't know a lot about how they got credit. What was interesting to me is that a lot of time, firms are able to get credit without even providing any financial statements or any information whatsoever to the bank. The reason they're able to get credit is that they have a credit score. So in other words, the information is coming, not from the form itself, but from another bank who had dealt with them in the past. What really struck me was there wasn't really a lot of research out there on this information channel. That's when I decided I wanted to learn a little bit more about what this reporting channel does to contract and help firms get credit and how it changes banks' incentives to lend.

Andrew Sutherland, ’13: 01:01 Basically, the firms that have a good credit record or a long track record of borrowing successfully were the ones that were able to shop around. We would think that's a good thing, that giving firms more choice about who to borrow from kind of increases social welfare, you get better matching between lenders and firms. Kind of the dark side is that the firms that have had payment trouble that have defaulted or missed some payments on loans sort of get shut out of the credit part. You have a harder time starting any new relationships with outside lenders. That's kind of a cost.

Andrew Sutherland, ’13: 01:34 The second cost is that information sharing changes the game for lenders. So, if participating in this credit bureau basically allows outside lenders to pick off the firms that are doing better, then that destroys the incentive for lenders to kind of invest in relationships to begin with. That's sort of the second dark side of information sharing, if you will.

Andrew Sutherland, ’13: 01:54 So, I coauthor on a number of projects with the junior faculty member here named Mike Minnis. I probably talked to Mike more than I talk to my wife. I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing. But, I mean, as a PhD student, there's only so much you can learn in class, and having a faculty member to work with that's kind of gone through the ropes and understands the review process, that's done something on their own, it gives you a really good opportunity to learn. That's something, I think that was absolutely instrumental in my success

Summer Internship at a Hedge Fund

Nathan Lang Headshot

Nathan Lang, COL & WH ’26, Boston, MA

Over this summer, I explored my interests in investment management by working at a hedge fund in New York City called Monarch Capital Group. At this fund, the strategy targets small to micro-cap companies that operate in the healthcare, industrial, and technology sectors. Specifically, they target firms with a strong competitive moat, recurring revenue streams, and a strong macro tailwind.

As I have a strong interest in learning more about real-world investing, I wanted to pursue this internship to strengthen my experience in the investing world and prepare myself for a career in equities investing in the future. During my time there, the day-to-day was a lot of learning through observation. In the first weeks, I shadowed the investing partners during Zoom calls and in-person meetings with prospective firms and portfolio companies. During these meetings, I would ask questions to senior management at these firms to better understand the current situation in which these firms were in. On top of this, I also monitored these firms every day to check their newsfeeds, reports, and 8-Ks for any material changes to the firm. After a few weeks, I was able to work on my own project where I worked to produce a write and model for a firm after talking to the management team and other key stakeholders. It was a great process to learn hands-on how an investment decision is made and the thesis behind each investment. This experience solidified my investing intuition and allowed me to develop the necessary skills for financial analysis and forecasting.

The internship furthers my desire to continue a career in investment management as the work I did at the firm aligned perfectly with my interests. I really learned how to analyze a business’ fundamental drivers and models which then helped me filter out the good business models from the bad. It not only gave me a sense of the quantitative aspects of the analysis of an investment but also a strong understanding of the qualitative aspects that help with a firm’s management an growth. What this internship offers is the opportunity to speak with the CEOs and CFOs of the firms that they are invested in or seeking to invest in.

I am grateful for the opportunity to have this opportunity to pursue an experience in this industry. I hope to use my skills and experience to help others at Penn. I look forward to building upon the skills I have acquired in my undergraduate studies.

This is part of a series of posts by recipients of the 2023 Career Services Summer Funding Grant. We’ve asked funding recipients to reflect on their summer experiences and talk about the industries in which they spent their summer.  You can read the entire series here
