@C_Kant Equity Research - An area wherein , an in-depth analysis of stock , particular sector is done. Based on the research done , finally a BUY / SELL recommendation is made .
various firms - CLSA , NOMURA , GOLDMANN SACHS , JP MORGAN , CREDIT SUISSE , etc . Basically all investment banking firms are also the equity research firms. U get the role of an analyst ... in the future u may proceed as - analyst >> ASSOCIATE ANALYST >> SENIOR ANALYST >> PARTULAR SECTOR ANALYST >> RESEARCH HEAD . Besides these firms equity research is also performed by various other financial services firms such as mutual fund houses . A mutual fund is assigned a particular FUND MANAGER by the respective ASSET MANAGEMENT COMPANY (AMC) . Hence , in order to make the fund best performing , the fund manager has to do equity research . So , mutual funds & brokerages are some other specific areas of equity research.
now , talking about technical analysis , IT IS THE STUDY OF PAST HISTORICAL STOCK PRICES AND THE PRACTICE OF MAKING BUYS / SELL RECOMMENDATIONS ON THE BASIS OF TTECNICAL CHARTS , VARIOUS TECHNICAL INDIACTORS , TOOLS , SOFTWARES & SOME PRE-DEFINED PRICE MOVEMENT PATTERNS . In simple words , TEHNICAL ANALYSIS IS SOMETHING WHICH ESSENTIALLY IS A PART OF EQUITY RESEARCH . So , in a way if you are not interesyed in a job , say which involves the fundamental based research of a company , u can go for positions which solely involve making the recommendation calls based on technical analysis
What was your field of focus while studying? Risk Management, Corporate Finance, Development Finance or any other? According to your concentration would be easier to advice anything on that as the field itself is very vast and it usually easier if you had chosen particular concentration during your studies, which meets your interest the most. Also, the search of job depends on your ability to perform during the interview and present yourself in a way so that company is confident of investing into you. It does not depend much on your first university degree as long as you performed well and have good skills to offer to the company with your current degree. Does university provide any assistance in this? We for example, have our own Career Centre to help students with their careers, maybe your university has something similar?
Can anyone give me a link to a case study done by an equity research analyst so that I can know more about various job responsibilities associated with it? I couldn't find one on the internet.

Why Finance?
I started off being interested in Engineering.I enjoyed learning and also performed very well at it. But after getting exposed to the work done by my CA friend and my bother working in investment banking, I realized that I was much more interested in pursuing finance because I want to make an impact and work inthe fast-paced and analytic environment. Since then, I have done some research on my own and also invested some part of the amount I got from scholarships. I invested some amount in FD, some in Mutual funds and bought share of Reliance Industries through my dad창€™s demat account. But the company made losses and so did I. Then learning from my mistakes, under the guidance of my brother I invested in profit making shares. The investments, analysis, equity started interesting me. I have realized that starting out in finance would be the best fit for me. In the long-term I want to be an investor or trusted advisor to companies, and I see banking as the ideal path to getting there.
I have a medical background (MBBS) and want to take up finance as a career post MBA
How much of an issue will my past be in getting a summer placement in BFSI sector ?
Will CFA level 1 be of any help before the summer placements ?
Are there any colleges which I should not be joining ? Among the colleges that I have a possibility of making into this year are : new IIMs, MDI SCMHRD and NMIMS
@mayankleo_1 What kind of questions can i expect. ?
I can tell which shares i bought, why i bought those. PE ratio, PEG ratio.
I can even ans which is my fav stock and why.
If asked of the Facebook IPO issue. I can say describe it to some extend.
If asked of mutual funds. I can speak on them too. But not too much. I don't have much knowledge related to debt mutual funds or hybrid MF. equity MF i can at least speak something.
@manukk knowing the actual ratios is a different thing while knowing the significance of those is another.. the panel may not go very deep into it, but if you know the actual application of things you know, they would definitely be impressed..
Hii. I am a CA working since past 6 months.. I am looking forward to do MBA to get into management & hone my managerial and other skills. But i can't decide whether i should go for regular 2 year PGDBM course or Executive PGD or MIM (abroad). Really need some advice .
@Sunny.D Executive PGD is for people who have good amount of experience (generally > 5 years). Do you want to wait till that period as you don't have the required years of experience as of now.
@@kvrvmanoj 5 years is too long. But I am not sure about the value addition and need of the 2 yrs course after doing CA. Further as of now I am open to doing job as well as business.
