Abstract

This report attempts to highlight my experience and learnings obtained from my Summer Internship Program at The Growth Arrow as an intern in the domain of financial service as an Equity Research Analyst. The Growth Arrow is an independent financial service domain, that aims towards developing a strong commitment towards clients and trainees a new standard where easy manner plays an important role to understand and learn about the financial services in a better way. The Company stands for the “We are Professionals”, “We are Creative”, “We are Talented” and “We are Excellent” slogans. They offer many services to clients and students seeking help in the financial sector as in Financial Planning, Advisory Services, Wealth Management, and Training Programs. During my internship, my role was to attend teachings sessions regularly and use those learnings to analyze the market or company data using the technical, fundamental, and sentimental techniques and methods. I was asked to do paper trading using an excel file. I was also required to give regular analysis on various stocks on basis of their performance by trying to predict the forecast of what it may lead in the future by analyzing various trends and graphs patterns, be it during or after the trading hours through a google form. I had also asked to provide potential prospects information for education or clientele purposes as a part of the role. A sufficient amount of training was imparted to me so that it is easier for me to work effectively in the domain of equity research and analysis, and to take important and timely decisions to make sure that the analysis provided and the trading done is of excellent quality and which can yield returns in the futures after applying the same understanding of techniques and methods. After the completion of the internship, I feel more confident that I can use the many technical analysis tools like pivot point, candlestick patterns, and fundamental analysis like ratios and market and economic information for purposes of trading and futures estimation of market and company trade patterns to benefit out of it. But I know and feel that I still have to improve upon my analytical and predictive parts and also have to learn a lot more about trading and how to understand and react to various situations to develop my skill as an Equity Research Analysts.
