Your team
At UBS Research, equity analyst teams scrutinize company financial statements, analyze a company’s business from the ground up, and explore scenarios. The objective of all this work is to understand the company’s short, medium, and long run earning potential in order to make stock recommendations to professional investors like asset managers and fund managers.
We want you to join one of these small (3-4 person) equity analyst teams. Here, you and your teammates will leverage deep industry knowledge, fluency with microeconomic principles applied in the real world, and hypothesis-driven statistical analysis of both proprietary and public data sources, to create financial forecasts and valuations for the dozen or companies that you will cover.
Using these forecasts and his or her position near the center of the important investment debates around these companies, the leader of your team will make investment recommendations. He or she will then utilize all the resources of the platform UBS provides to communicate this view which you helped to shape to the smartest and most sophisticated investors around the world.
Eventually, if things go well, you may find yourself leading a team of your own.
