<\/a> OUR ANALYST OF THE WEEK- <\/strong>Yousef Husseini, vice president of research at EFG Hermes (Linkedin<\/a>).<\/p>\n

My name is Yousef Husseini and I was actually supposed to be an engineer.<\/strong> I studied engineering at UCLA, but after a few internships, I decided that the field isn\u2019t for me. I was already taking accounting and finance courses as electives so I decided to transition into the financial world by taking an investment banking course in the US. Our teacher was really into sell-side research. He always argued that it was the best place to start a career because you get exposure to a lot of sectors and you work with many departments. His words must have sunk in because I soon landed my first role as a sell-side analyst at EFG Hermes.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve been at EFG for almost 12 years now.<\/strong> I was initially supposed to work in Saudi Arabia, but after spending some time training in Egypt, my then manager asked me to stay. It turned out to be the best thing that has ever happened to me seeing as I feel very much Egyptian \u2014 I\u2019m originally Palestinian \u2014 and I think my Egyptian accent is getting better [laughs]. More importantly, there\u2019s the added bonus that I married my wife Nada here.<\/p>\n

I now cover the petrochemicals sector,<\/strong> mostly in Saudi Arabia, but I do cover a few firms in Egypt.<\/p>\n

For anyone starting out as an analyst, I definitely would recommend the sell-side.<\/strong> It\u2019s a good building block to have a foundation in all things finance and while it can be hectic and stressful, it\u2019s also very rewarding. You get to talk to a lot of people and gain interesting insights, keeping you on your feet and always growing.<\/p>\n

The best part of the job is how diverse it is.<\/strong> As a sell-side analyst there are so many aspects to what you do every day. Research is obviously a very important part of the job, but it's just one part of it. There\u2019s also marketing and talking to clients, because no matter how good your calls are, if you aren't communicating them to clients in a proper way, they're irrelevant. You also have the asset management aspect from looking at investments.<\/p>\n

The culture at EFG is to grow vertically.<\/strong> My boss, the head of research Ahmed Shams El Din<\/a>, has always told me that his goal is to make me good enough at what we do that I could one day take his job. He\u2019s instilled that culture in the team and I\u2019m trying to be that way with my juniors. My goal is to elevate them to a place where they can be the head of the sector. Shams El Din has also been very understanding and flexible with me and my wife in regards to the work from home issue seeing as we\u2019ve welcomed a new baby to the family.<\/p>\n

The worst part of my job is the stress.<\/strong> If companies you cover make a big announcement, all hell breaks loose. Your clients start calling and you\u2019re under pressure to come up with a picture of what\u2019s happening and deliver it urgently.<\/p>\n

I manage stress by taking a step back from it all.<\/strong> Sometimes you're so caught up in that you don't really realize what's happening. You're just functioning. Taking a step back lets you ask yourself \u2018What's the worst case scenario here?\u2019 and realize that if you get something wrong, the world doesn\u2019t end. If I\u2019m working on something that\u2019s not super urgent, I take a nap to get away from it all. I know it's a weird custom, but it really works for me [laughs].<\/p>\n

Going forward, I think a mix between physical and virtual roadshows is ideal.<\/strong> Both have their pros and cons, but we\u2019ve learned a lot about virtual roadshows this past year and the benefits have really put themselves forward. There\u2019s a lot less logistics involved and you can get things done quicker and talk to more people, but you lose that intimacy of just getting to sit with your clients face-to-face. That\u2019s why I think it shouldn\u2019t be heavily skewed in one direction.<\/p>\n

Personally, I\u2019m sort of a long-haul investor. <\/strong>I look for strong management teams and thematic stories that promise a potential upside. I also focus on dividends a lot, but I\u2019m more interested in growth. As a sell-side analyst, I always try to look at the investment from my client's perspective whether they\u2019re short or long-term investors. So in my job, I would never say an investment tool is bad, I just weigh them differently and try to get a full picture.<\/p>\n

A good management team is aware of downside risk.<\/strong> They have analysed all possible scenarios and and try to position the company in a way where if the worst case occurs, they can come out the other side. Other than that, strong management is always trying to identify potential growth outlets and launching new products at the right time.<\/p>\n

I would expect that stocks in my sector will perform very well over the next 12 months.<\/strong> Valuation and cashflow wise, the companies I cover in Egypt are in a strong position and I don\u2019t think that\u2019s reflected in the stock price.<\/p>\n

The last great thing I watched was <\/strong>Sweet Tooth<\/a><\/strong>.<\/strong> I\u2019m big into fantasy and sci-fi and the show is a strange apocalyptic kind of story. However, my favorite running show is Better Call Saul<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m currently reading <\/strong>Noise: A Flaw in Human Judgement<\/a><\/strong> after I got the recommendation from <\/strong>Enterprise PM<\/a><\/strong>. <\/strong>I thought it would be very interesting to reassess myself by taking a step back and thinking about my internal processes.<\/p>\n

When I\u2019m not on the job, I\u2019m a full time dad.<\/strong> I spend a lot of time with my kids, especially since my daughter was born 10 months ago. When things calm down at night, I like to play puzzle games whether they\u2019re on my phone or just a rubix cube.<\/p>\n
