Our award-winning Global Research organization supports the institutional sales and trading teams and their clients. Our expertise is at the core of the value delivered to investor clients. Our research analysts provide insightful, objective, and decisive research designed to enable their clients to make informed investment decisions in six primary disciplines. Research Analyst Interns are responsible for modeling/analysis, conducting primary research, and writing franchise pieces. Some responsibilities are conducted regularly (daily, weekly, etc.) while others are longer-term, ad hoc projects. Sample responsibilities and projects include: assembling historical financial models using SEC filings, company conference calls, and press releases; conducting financial, statistical, and industry analysis on companies and the industry to support the team’s investment thesis; learning fundamentals of industry and companies covered by the team, and researching sector trends that may impact company/sector recommendations; writing short notes and lengthy reports (Primers) on economies, markets, and/or industries; writing sections of daily, weekly, or monthly reports. Research Analyst Interns are placed in a specific industry sector team for the duration of the internship.
