Recent graduate Henna Janson just landed her dream job as an analyst at boutique Portfolio Management firm InvestUp. She joined a pool of 7 analysts reporting to 2 portfolio managers and was assigned responsibility for technology investments. Everyone in the group reported up to the CIO (Chief Investment Officer), who in turn reported to the CEO (Chief Executive Officer). While it was a very small investment department, Henna realized on her first few days on the job that the environment was very formal and hierarchal and she had very little interaction with the CIO and CEO. She was also told that she was on a 6-month probation, where the firm would be watching her closely to ensure she fit with the culture. She primarily reported to Jennifer Deakins, the Portfolio Manager responsible for the growth-oriented portfolios. Henna was surprised to be asked by Jennifer to write investment reports on two technology companies that were already in the InvestUp growth portfolios. Jennifer explicitly told Henna that she wanted the investment reports to be positive and support the fact that InvestUp had already invested in them. Henna was surprised that Jennifer didn't want her opinion on the two technology companies, nor did she want unbiased fresh research. While Henna felt that offering objective research was an important part of her professional role and felt a bit uncomfortable, she didn't want to rock the boat so soon after starting, didn't know what else to do, and didn't really know what the investment reports would be used for. She went along with it and wrote up two positive investment reports. The next week, the share price of one of the technology firms that Henna had written up fell by 25%. The CIO barged into Henna's office demanding that she provide an explanation for why she had written so positively about a stock that was clearly a bad investment. Henna didn't know what to do.
