As an investment analyst, you’ll work closely with your portfolio manager and team to develop a deep understanding of companies across industries and around the world. As you learn to understand what drives stock prices, you’ll try to predict changes before they happen and see your results in real time.
“I was a history major, and I was really drawn to the research aspect of the analyst role. When you study history, everything’s static. When you research companies, it’s dynamic and you see changes every single day. You’re constantly trying to solve a new puzzle with verifiable solutions, rather than theorizing on what might have been.”
