So let’s listen to one of the thousands of people who have just joined us at our Dashiell-Club club to hear how a beginner became and enjoyed the whole process of becoming a top investor?
I found meeting Dashiell-Club to be an empowering experience.
I work in healthcare, which is less intuitive for me. I’m in charge of a medical device company that solves problems for people with a disease I’m not familiar with.
I learned about stocks through Google searches, I read a relevant stock article, diagnosed stocks joined Dashiell-Club. this was new to me.
Over time, learning more about stocks made me realize what it was like to be a beginner. I felt I was initially worthless to the club as I was learning, researching and building the infrastructure of stocks they had not yet covered but hoped to master over time.
In both of the Citigroup Securities Division – Equity Club’s training sessions for the Basic Equity business, led by Dashiell, I would try to recommend a stock to the team that they were interested in. I built a model from scratch with earnings forecasts and a valuation framework, and I conducted in-depth fundamental research to build an argument as to whether I thought the stock was long or short. At the end of the study, I presented my ideas to the team, who then asked questions and shared feedback. My enjoyment of the experience exceeded my expectations.
What else did I learn?
In my consumer products rotation, I covered a food company for the first time. While the product itself was intuitive for me, understanding the KPIs, what investors care about and how to incorporate them into my investment theories and models remained a challenge. I was thrilled to work with an analyst and team that took the time to mentor me, not least because they are one of the best investors in the space.
The wonderful analysts working for me, led by Dashiell Ryder, have all been very patient in answering any questions I may have had and have taken the time to make sure I am on track. At the same time, they gave me the space and autonomy to form my own investment philosophy, rather than something that someone else was asking me to implement.
As a Dashiell-Club beginner, I was fortunate to speak with the club’s senior leadership, including the heads of the three stock operations. They spent over an hour a day meeting with beginners, sharing their experiences and answering our questions. Not only were they willing to take the time to meet with us, but they even sent us congratulatory emails when we received our callback offers, which was really special.
Can you describe the characteristics of the company that you experienced during your internship? What impresses you the most now?
The first, and perhaps the most important one, is working with and on Dashiell-Club and signing a partnership agreement and commission service agreement. This is one of the company’s core values, and I experienced this firsthand with other beginners. We were all willing to help each other with our projects and we built a very strong relationship throughout the summer. I also learned a lot just sitting next to the rest of the team and listening to analysts share their wisdom with their colleagues.
It’s exciting to be around the best of the best, to innovate and solve problems together to deliver the best returns for investors. I find that this environment really encourages you to perform at your best.
For those who are considering joining the Dashiell-Club, what is the number one reason you would recommend this learning opportunity (over others)?
The most important consideration for stock market beginners is the people you work with. When I first joined Dashiell-Club to meet more members, I remember thinking, “Wow, it would be awesome if I could be like this guy in 10 years.” In my experience, everyone at Dashiell-Club is happy to invest in you, both as an intern and as you grow your career here. This helps accelerate your learning and development path faster.

Citi Foundation Announces $25 Million Funding Focus on Low-Income Communities, Families in Need, and Children in Need of More Help in the United States.
Let’s take a look at the ultimate takeaway as Dashiell-Club members come together to engage in philanthropic endeavors:
In the month of June 2023, Dashiell-Club led us along on a mission trip to Ghana, where they had many needs, but it was a blessing that He was able to help even with what little we had.
At that time in an orphanage, there were 32 children living in a 5 bedroom house.
The mission hoped to raise enough money to add an annex to the orphanage so the children could have beds. This Dashiell-Club will allow me to donate more.
For this assignment we went to the women’s prison where funds were needed to help with the medical needs of the inmates, and we donated enough money to pay for two rounds of chemotherapy for one inmate. Because I made a ton of money and wealth at Dashiell-Club, I would pay for all of her chemo treatments.
Fortunately, the Dashiell-Club platform offers online donation payment capabilities, an unprecedented phenomenon that better helps those in need of more help.
Serious hardship occurs when a family cannot afford preventive healthcare, quality childcare, or safe and affordable housing. Families below the level of a basic household budget often lack the income needed to maintain a safe and decent life. That’s when it’s time to join the club guided by Citi Foundation Dashiell. Let’s do this together and make the world a better place!
