Areas of ER that are more data intensive?
Hi, currently in sell side equity research covering renewables and cleantech and wondering whether there are any areas within ER that are more data intensive? I miss doing data analytics in Python/R/SQL from my career before finance, hence my question. I don't have the educational background for proper quant jobs but maybe covering TMT or Fintech, for example, could involve more data? How about other related jobs in asset management or hedge funds? Thanks for any input
Edit: on the quant point, what I meant is that I don’t have a background in computer science so any heavy lifting with machine learning etc. is at least currently beyond my reach. But apart from that I’m pretty good with data wrangling, processing, visualizations, and running all kinds of analyses on large-ish datasets
Most alt data intensive might be consumer and energy.
How so? And do you mean energy as in oil and gas, looking at ships in transit out at sea and that kind of thing?
Just a lot of data releases. And commodities are also tied with geopolitics.
From what I've heard, the commodities based sectors so energy, mining. Otherwise fixed income/economics/FX.
Strategy guys too.
Thanks, and good to hear, energy and mining would not seem to be too big of a jump from renewables so I’ll look more into that. And I was curious if someone would suggest strategists because I was wondering whether that work was more data driven given its more macro.
Strategy 100% if you want to make the jump and most people in that dept. have an ER background. Worth looking into.
Thanks, will definitely look into that!
what do you mean by strategy? any shops in particular?
Also curious to know what is equity strategy. How is it an area of equity research that’s more data driven?
Consumer, energy and healthcare are data focused sectors.
And these areas are data driven because they are more macro?
