<p>1. Develop proprietary opinions based on primary research. Regularly check with competitors, customers, and suppliers of each of your companies. Develop unique approaches to financial analysis. Perform proprietary surveys. Avoid at all costs simply repeating guidance or management opinions unless you disagree with them.</p>
<p>2. Be proactive. Strive to be the first to market with any new idea or piece of information&#8211;if we aren’t, our competitors will. All information becomes a commodity very quickly. Each analyst should be in front of the institutional sales force no fewer than two to three times per week.</p>
<p>3. Be provocative. Playing it safe turns into a loser’s game over time. It dulls our senses and results in lackluster analysis with no impact on our clients.</p>
<p>4. Follow and publish regularly on at least 12-15 institutional-quality stocks with market caps generally in the $300 million &#8211; $3 billion range and with an average daily volume greater than 200,000 shares. Write all research with an eye to the institutional market&#8211;it can always be encapsulated for the retail client.</p>
<p>5. Launch coverage on at least one new stock per quarter, pruning unproductive names from the list as required.</p>
<p>6. Maintain an above-average stock picking performance. According to a Nelson’s survey, the average Wall Street analyst is right about 55% of the time; our goal should be to be right 65%-70% of the time.</p>
<p>7. Develop a following with our top accounts. Each focus account should be contacted at least once per month. This list will be developed with the sales force and will be monitored regularly.</p>
<p>8. Cooperate with corporate finance. Every idea generated by corporate finance deserves our attention, but be sure to operate within the regulations that require a gatekeeper to be present for most conversations.</p>
<p>9. Expand our relationship with retail. Only a small amount of retail&#8217;s equity business is in our names, and it can be much higher with a modest amount of additional effort. Treat the brokers that have substantial positions in your stocks as you would an institutional client—add them to your contact list. Talk to April Langel regularly about your stocks, maintain an active Focus List, and speak to the entire retail department periodically about your group and your best ideas. Return all calls from brokers within 24 hours. There should be regular visits to the branches, with a goal of 5 &#8211; 10 visits per year. Take company management to the major branches and arrange field trips to local companies.</p>
<p>10. Keep trading informed about anything that you think will impact a stock&#8217;s price and any clients who have indicated an interest in your stocks. Keep tabs on our positions in your stocks. If you believe that there are events that will substantially impact the price of a stock in the very near term, be sure that the desk is either flat or on the right side of the trade, being very careful not to front run the public disclosure of material, insider information.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There is a lot of misunderstanding out there regarding the equity research experience at the bulge bracket investment banks in comparison to that at boutiques or smaller independent shops, with some people claiming that the one and only thing to take into account is how your lead analyst is ranked on the ii or Extel rankings. This is far away from the truth, and here I am going to explain why:</p>
<p>1) Working at a main investment bank will get you <strong>better exposure </strong>to better clients. Your team head will decide when you are ready to start speaking to clients, but once you do, you get to interact and debate with PM&#8217;s and analysts from the likes of Blackrock, Fidelity, Alliance&#8230; as well as top hedge funds. This not only offers you the points of view of the top houses in the industry but also greatly expands your network if you are looking into making a jump into the buyside.</p>
<p>2) The <strong>size and quality of the sales and trading department </strong>at a bulge bracket will help you to get your name out there. If the sales people like you they will ask you loads of questions and try to grab you over to their desk when you visit the floor. This translates into more client exposure as they&#8217;ll want to bring you along with them. Sales don&#8217;t really care about hierarchy and will respect you if you know your stuff even though you might be a junior. Also interacting with traders allows you to be in the flow. When a client calls asking &#8220;why they hell is this stock up 3% if there&#8217;s been no news&#8221; you will be able to answer &#8220;oh, let me call my trader&#8221;.</p>
<p>3) <strong>Resources</strong>. Big banks have the capital to actually invest in department resources. I can&#8217;t tell you how awesome it is to not having to update company models every earnings because we have a guy in India who does it. You might have to proofread through it but that is so much easier then actually manually updating each model for the 15 companies you may have under coverage.</p>
<p>4) <strong>Management exposure</strong>. More often than not you will get more exposure to management teams outside the traditional analyst day, since they usually schedule their roadshows in liason with an investment bank. It&#8217;s pretty nice when you are 23 and you are on a first name basis with a CEO who who runs a company that is $8bn in mkt cap. If you want to jump into industry you know who to call.</p>
<p>5) <strong>IPO experience</strong>. If your sector is hot or you work for a top ranked analyst you will get a lot of IPO&#8217;s in your space simply because the company wants the top analyst to market them. This translates into you (aka the junior analyst) to be the guy who has to build the vetting model and write a substantial part of the initiation and marketing report. This is great experience to draw from when you are interviewing.</p>
<p>So all things considered, if you are in a position to choose between a junior role at a main investment bank or a smaller independent shop, take the bulge bracket offer and never look back.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>For those trying to find your place within investment banking, here is an overview of what the different front office roles actually entail:</p>
<p><strong>Sales</strong></p>
<p>You get to the office around 6am in order to spend most of your day on the phone trying to sell your clients products that they probably don&#8217;t need. If you&#8217;re not on the phone then you&#8217;re shouting across the floor to get prices from traders, and if you&#8217;re not doing that then you&#8217;re staring at technical analysis charts on Bloomberg &#8211; maybe you believe in them, maybe you don&#8217;t, but perhaps you can take one of them and spin a story around it so you can sell some shit to a client. Clients bitch at you, traders and researchers think you are an idiot, but at least you get to go home around 5.30pm.</p>
<p><strong>Trading</strong></p>
<p>You still get in early. On the bright side, you don&#8217;t have to deal with any clients in this role, but the downside is that you have to deal with salespeople, which is possibly even worse. If you&#8217;re lucky you can get to do proprietary trading, which is definitely more interesting than filling orders for clients (flow). The problem with prop is that you&#8217;re crapping bricks whenever it looks like a position isn&#8217;t going your way. Still better than being a salesman, but only marginally.</p>
<p><strong>Structuring</strong></p>
<p>At least there&#8217;s some variety in this role &#8211; as long as you like spending your day inventing a bewildering array of mind-bending financial structures designed to temporarily blind anyone who tries to comprehend them, at least for long enough so the salesperson can convince a client to part with enough cash now that it doesn&#8217;t matter when the whole thing turns out to be a bundle of lies. Well, that was what a structurer did before 2008. Now that everyone&#8217;s runs away from exotics like if they were the plague and vanilla is the new flavour of the day, they probably don’t have much to do anyway.</p>
<p><strong>Research</strong></p>
<p>This is one of the most soul-destroying positions in the bank. You get in as early as the traders, but there is no way you are going to be out before 7pm.  Fundamentally, the function of the research department in a bank is not to produce good research, but to produce something glossy that the salespeople can wave in the face of clients so that they can convince them to buy something. The research department can sit there with their huge models and their fancy analysis tools, but at the end of the day they&#8217;re employed to produce sales brochures. Oh, and don’t forget to suck a lot of client dick if you want get those Extel votes.</p>
<p><strong>Quants</strong></p>
<p>You are the traders&#8217; bitch. Whenever a model isn&#8217;t working properly (or even when it is working properly, but the trader doesn&#8217;t like the results) the trader will shout at you over the phone, or even standing over your desk, demanding that you fix it now because NOTHING COULD POSSIBLY BE MORE IMPORTANT. And time after time, you&#8217;ll swallow your pride and do it, because quants are treated like second class citizens in an investment bank. You&#8217;ll try to convince yourself that the research you&#8217;re doing (whenever you get to do research rather than spending your time trying to fix a 100 MB Excel spreadsheet) is just as interesting as what you were doing before you joined the bank, but deep down you know that you&#8217;re only lying to yourself. What makes things worse is that the useless idiot who shouts at you makes 3 times more money that you do.</p>
<p><strong>IBD</strong><br />
For some reason, some people think the job is glamorous. It&#8217;s obviously not. Walk around the offices of any major investment bank around 1-2am, and you will see this tired, haggard investment bankers crawling out of the office in the small hours of the morning and falling limply into taxis, just so they can do exactly the same thing again tomorrow, and the day after, and at the weekend. Most of them don’t even have a clue about finance, but have truly mastered the secrets of PowerPoint. You have to pity these poor souls.</p>
