How do you find out about the footprints, strengths and weaknesses of a bank's research?
Hey fellow monkeys!
As part of my internship assignment (regional bank in Singapore), I am supposed to find out about the footprints, strengths and weaknesses of my bank. I'm not too sure how to go about doing it because I've already googled tons of stuff like XXX Bank Equity Research Ranking/Review/Strengths/Weaknesses but to no avail.
Kindly advise guys!!
Thanks!
I'm not sure but I would imagine that in part an activity like this is intended to help promote your relationships with people at your bank. By getting around the office and talking to people you can learn from them what areas the bank is doing well and where it needs to improve.
Also get on google and just research the bank. Go to the bank's website, they'll probably flaunt their strengths.
Institutional Investor rankings are more or less crap. Banks actively campaign for ranking spots. Of course Sanford Bernstein is far inferior to Goldman's research team, haha. The only time II matters is during bonus season, and when a banker needs a nice quote for a pitch.
Starmine isn't better, especially in industries where estimates are tightly clustered. It almost comes down to luck.
Greenwich is a hair better, but doesn't break down to the analyst level (as far as I can tell).
You almost need to be in the industry (either in research or using the reports) to know who is good and who isn't. Of course, this isn't helpful for anyone looking to break in.
I'd offer my input, but I am new to ER and really don't know shit.
