Tan (Brendan) Pham
Finance postgraduate · Melbourne, VIC
Background
Finance postgraduate (WAM 80.3) at the University of Melbourne with strong analytical and quantitative skills. My research focuses on identifying mispriced securities using bottom-up fundamental analysis — DCF, comparable companies, and LBO modelling.
I bring 12+ years of professional experience as a pharmacist — a background that trained me in precision, regulatory compliance, and communicating complex information clearly. Those habits carry directly into investment analysis.
I have managed a personal ASX equity portfolio since 2016, compounding at ~10% annualised over 9 years. This site is a living record of that thinking — written theses, downloadable models, and a track record of every idea I've published.
