Hanzalah Kaif
Equity Research Analyst - Student Investment Fund @ Cal State East Bay- College of Business & Economics
About
I am an Economics student at California State University, East Bay with a strong interest in financial analysis, economic research, and the dynamics that shape firms and markets. I am particularly interested in how economic incentives, financial performance, and strategic decisions interact to influence business outcomes. My academic and extracurricular work explores these questions through financial analysis, industry research, and applied economic inquiry. Through experiences in investment analysis, research projects, and strategy-focused initiatives on campus, I have developed an interest in understanding how analytical thinking can be applied to real-world economic and business problems. More broadly, I am interested in studying how markets and businesses grow, compete, and adapt within changing economic environments.
