Ilir Shkurti joined Benzinga in November 2011 as an analyst with over 7 years of capital markets experience. He holds MBA and MSF degrees and is a CFA candidate.

Ilir believes in letting the data set guide one’s mindset, and this has applied to trading. TTR incorporates the insights from a study of over a year’s worth of analyst ratings data, honed over several months of live testing.

Prior to joining Benzinga, Ilir served in the private equity space as an analyst at Ducker Worldwide and Lockwood Companies. When he is not trading the ratings, studying towards his CFA charter or spending time with his wife, Ilir likes to spend as much time outdoors as possible.
