To
Whom
It
May
Concern:
Alfredo
Leon
Sierraalta
did
very
good
work
as
a
member
of
my
Babson
College
Fund
(BCF)
team
this
past
year,
focusing
on
the
financial
sector.
The
BCF
manages
about
$2
million
of
the
Babson
college
endowment.
Students
apply
and
compete
to
join
the
BCF
each
year
on
the
basis
of
their
demonstrated
interest
and
ability
in
equities
analysis
and
research.
Alfredo
was
selected
from
a
pool
of
about
20
applicants
based
on
his
aptitude,
written
research,
a
stock
‘pitch,’
and
a
faculty
interview.
During
his
year
on
our
financials
team
Alfredo
demonstrated
a
strong
ability
to
screen
equities,
research
company
prospects,
build
earnings,
cash
flow,
and
balance
sheet
models,
and
develop
and
articulate
a
sound
investment
thesis
on
each
stock
he
covered.
He
was
very
good
at
presenting
his
work
to
our
team
as
well
as
the
larger
BCF
group,
an
audience
of
about
36
students
and
faculty.
During
these
presentations
Alfredo
provided
thoughtful
answers
to
questions,
thinking
well
on
his
feet.
And
over
this
past
year
the
team’s
stock
picks
outperformed
the
sector.
He
has
a
diligent
work
ethic,
and
is
a
strong
team
member,
always
willing
to
help
others.
Alfredo
was
a
pleasure
to
work
with.
I
believe
he
would
make
a
very
good
addition
to
any
investment
research
team
and
recommend
him
highly.
Sincerely,
William
