My finance journey

About

My name is Thomas Starzecki. I graduated in December 2025 with an M.S. in Investment Analysis from Hofstra University, and I’m a CFA Level I candidate sitting for the exam in November 2026. Starzecki Research exists to demonstrate my work in equity research — the field my education is built around. Every report is written from the perspective of a buy-side analyst.

Most early-career analysis never leaves a laptop. I’d rather put mine in the open and let it be judged over time — not as a line on a résumé, but as a public, growing body of work. Every report is timestamped at publication, every position is benchmarked against the S&P 500, and the calls that don’t work stay up.

What I’m looking for

I’m early in my career and pointed squarely at equity research, investment management, and investment banking. This site is intended to show what a résumé cannot: thought process, consistency, and a track record. I welcome anyone with questions to reach out.
