Asset Management - Company vs. Portfolio Analysis

Hey there,

this semester I have been taking a class called portfolio management. I was pretty interested in the AM field besides IBD and therefore I thought that I should give it a try.

However, most of the stuff is plain statistics and econometrics (don't get me wrong, I'm pretty good in that field, but I'm not really enjoying it).

So I was wondering, is it the same when you're actually working in Asset Management? During my internships I really enjoyed analysing companies, their financial statements, their markets, etc. I think that's something I would enjoy later at work. Do Asset Managers do analyses like this too when thinking about stocks for their portfolio, or is it just all about the risk/return statistics shit.

Thanks.
