What does an analyst at an AM firm do?

Well I've accepted an offer from an AM firm with 2B aum, and I was curious what the roles of the first year analyst would entail. Well I just be churning out monthly statements? Rebalancing portfolios? Pitching investment ideas? Summarizing our performance to pitch to clients?

You'll watch portfolios and work on re-balancing spreadsheets when things get out of whack; didn't they explain in the interview. What do you think you will be doing?

 

A lot of people make out analyst positions to be a boring grind of doing shit for other people. No doubt you'll be doing a lot of grunt work but you can make of it what you put in. In my experience a lot of analysts don't take the initiative to above and beyond and request more responsibility.

They pretty much told me what I posted, but I was curious whether that was accurate, or what other people's experiences were with AM.
