Equity Research Analysis

Abstract

This report aims to highlight my experiences and lessons learned throughout my Summer Internship Program at The Growth Arrow as an Equity Research Analyst intern in the financial services area. The Growth Arrow is a organization in financial services domain that strives to foster a strong commitment to clients and trainees by setting a new standard in which a simple approach plays a vital part in better understanding and learning about financial services. The words "We are Professionals," "We Are Creative," "We Are Talented," and "We Are Excellent" are all associated with the company. Financial Planning, Advisory Services, Wealth Management, and Training Programs are among the services they provide to clients and students seeking assistance in the financial sector. My responsibility throughout my internship was to routinely attend instructional sessions and apply what I learned to analyze market or company data utilizing technical, fundamental, and sentimental methodologies and procedures. I was instructed to undertake paper trading with the use of an excel spreadsheet. I was also needed to provide periodical analysis on numerous companies based on their performance, attempting to forecast where it would lead in the future by evaluating various trends and graph patterns, whether during or after trading hours, via a google form. As part of the work, I was also requested to supply possible prospects with information for educational or clientele objectives. A sufficient amount of training was provided to me so that it would be easier for me to work effectively in the field of equity research and analysis, and to make important and timely decisions to ensure that the analysis provided and the trading done are of excellent quality and can yield future returns using the same techniques and methods. After completing the internship, I am more confident in my ability to use a variety of technical analysis tools, such as pivot points and candlestick patterns, as well as fundamental analysis tools, such as ratios and market and economic information, to benefit from trading and futures estimation of market and company trade patterns. However, I am aware that I still need to work on my analytical and predictive skills, as well as learn a lot more about trading and how to analyze and react to a variety of scenarios, in order to advance my career as an Equity Research Analyst.
