Hi everyone, as the title suggest my question is this - When you get a buy-side ER internship, does the fund manager (or analyst below him) expect you to actually look in the sector and find investable ideas? Or in reality the interns help with a bit of everything to learn the role better and maybe the fund manager (more likely the Analyst) only expects 1-2 good ideas for those 2-3 months.
I know its a basic question but I think i'm overthinking this. To me, it makes sense that they expect a good stock pitch before they hire you, and for you to actually come up with 5-6 real, investable ideas during your internship. Is that too much? What happens in reality?
Thank you.
worked at a concentrated long-biased tech l/s fund last summer - didn't really generate ideas, more assisted with existing ideas/research angles on names I was given - did primary research, TAM analysis, models, etc.
thanks a lot for that info! I'll wait for the responses of others. It certainly makes me feel more confident that I could be a great intern
