About
Sonly Nguyen
I study finance and statistics at USC Marshall. Grid39 is where I publish my equity research and quantitative work.
I'm pursuing a B.S. in Business Administration with a finance emphasis and a minor in statistics, graduating in 2028. In summer 2027 I'll join Wells Fargo in New York as an equity research summer analyst. I'm also a portfolio analyst with the USC Asset Management Group.
Grid39 started in 2024 as The Market Ledger, a research blog where I wrote about fixed income, Federal Reserve policy and company valuation. As the work moved toward models, factor studies and statistics, I rebranded it as Grid39: a name built on a 13 by 3 grid, with a logo that traces a random walk on the binary digits of 39. The research continues here, with the model or code behind each piece.
