JARUSHUB ONE-LINE DESCRIPTION: Ebora (wizard) of finance

JARUSHUB REMARKS

I make bold to say that Rasaq is one of the brightest young professionals of our generation. It was not for nothing that his classmates nicknamed him Ebora (wizard) right from his year 1 in school.

Rasaq is the first person I met that wrote all 3 CFA levels once.

He is living his dreams with the setting up of his own outfit, SART PARTNERS, an investment management and financial advisory firm, after a stint in Shell and a couple of  investment outfits.

He is an emerging force to watch out for.

EDITOR’S ERROR: I initially put here that Rasaq wrote CFA level 2 twice. My attention has been drawn to the fact he never did; that he wrote and passed all the levels of the highly rated global exam once. I also wrote that he is 30. The correct information is he will be 29 in November this year. The errors are regretted  – Jarus
