    Posted: 27/Aug/2009 at 9:00am
Hi,

Are there any equity research analysts here on TED who work for some MF?  I am really interested to know what a day at work is like for these guys.

Also a few other questions:

1)How much freedom does one get to go about and cover a company one fancies?

2)Whats the money in the industry like?

3)How they cope with quarterly performance pressures?

4)What does it take to succeed in the industry where almost all MFs are closet indexers?

Would appreciate responses.

Thanks

I don't think a research analyst in a MF will have quarterly performance pressures. It is the MF manager who is supposed to deliver.

I am actually weighing my options as to if i should take up equity research as a career or do something more worthwhile and invest my money on my own terms.Smile

CT Munger opines: "The amount of brain power going into money management is a national scandal."

Hi Teddies,
I am starting discussion on this forum again, as i would also like to know the answers to the questions asked by prabhakar earlier. I have some more questions to add to it:
1. What are the prospects of getting a job on the basis of CFA level 1, without any other background in Finance?
2. How much can a fresher expect in terms of salary?
 
hope that my questions will be answered soon, as always on TED Smile

Have you done a CFA course. Or you just want to know how the market is doing.
