Finance · Research · Education
I’m Aness Hussein Ali—a financial engineer, mathematician, market researcher and founder of Stocks To Buy Now AI.
I’ve managed over $4 billion and worked at Goldman Sachs in New York and Bank of America in London.
I’m passionate about statistical arbitrage and making expert financial knowledge accessible, helping people build their understanding of markets and grow wealth thoughtfully.
My faith in God shapes how I approach life and work. I believe small acts of kindness can create a butterfly effect, and that the good we put into the world finds its way back to us.
Background, with the sources
My work connects quantitative finance with a practical question: what is changing in a business, an industry or the wider economy—and how can we study it?
My professional background includes experience at Goldman Sachs and Bank of America across trading, asset management and risk. Today, I bring that perspective to market research tools and investor education.

Finance meets engineering
My experience spans portfolio research, derivatives trading, statistical modelling and software engineering—from studying investment risk to building systems that work with large datasets.
Economics
I combine experience in trading, asset management and risk analysis with macroeconomic research and quantitative methods. This helps me connect changes in the economy to investment decisions, test trading strategies and assess both potential returns and risk.
Data science
I turn structured and unstructured data into insights that support business decisions. My work draws on statistics, analytics and machine learning, with practical experience across financial markets and advertising technology—from testing a hypothesis to measuring its impact.
Software development
I build the systems that bring research to users: cloud databases on Google Cloud Platform, backends with Django, and web and mobile interfaces with React and Flutter. Scheduled computations and cached model outputs help make complex analytics fast and accessible.

How I think about markets
Study interest rates, inflation, policy and industry trends to place a company’s prospects in context.
Review earnings, margins, cash flow, valuation and management guidance. Compare the evidence with industry peers.
Test assumptions, consider alternative outcomes and think about sizing and risk. Data supports judgment; it does not remove uncertainty.
