Hi, I’m Logan Lisowski. I’d love for us to get to know each other, so here’s a little about myself.
The question that has shaped most of my undergraduate work is a simple one: what earns a client the right to trust you with the next decision? Trust is the only thing that compounds in advisory work, and the last four years have been an attempt to understand how it gets built.
I tested that thinking most directly in my senior research under Professor Marc Sardy. I screened 1,488 ISINs and isolated 60 Chinese serial acquirers across 308 deals. The study found that high-ESG acquirers outperformed low-ESG peers by 2.14 percentage points in post-acquisition ROA, robust across 1,000 placebo permutations with zero false positives. It is the cleanest result I have produced and the project I am most proud of.
The discipline behind that study came from two years as Vice President of Investment Research at the Rollins Student Investors Network. I covered a hundred equities across eight sectors, working in Bloomberg and FactSet every week. The lesson that stuck: the model almost never holds the opinion. The opinion lives in the assumptions, and the only real question is whether you were honest with yourself when you made them. The portfolio I helped manage outperformed the S&P 500 by two and a half percent over my tenure.
Alongside the research, I have worked four sides of the desk. I co-founded SFIN Media sophomore year and ran it to ten thousand plus a month in recurring revenue. At b+h Polymers I produced weekly variance reporting against $6M in spend and modeled IRR for a $4.2M Mexico City JV decision. At EdgeFinder I built a Python screener tracking 200 indicators that hit a 63% win rate on nine years of futures data. At Kin Homes Solar I closed $450K in residential contracts in five months. Each role was a different version of the same lesson: the work isn’t done until someone on the other side can use it.
I graduated Rollins in May 2026 with a 3.8 GPA, Magna Cum Laude, and the SIE in hand. I want my next role to take the research seriously and the client side just as seriously. Wealth advisory, capital markets, or FP&A. Somewhere a decision actually depends on what I put on the page.
