Equity Research Report Formatting

Hey all,

I’ve been an analyst at a family office since graduating. My capacity has primarily been directed towards equity research and real estate valuation. I am looking to move to an independent research firm or hedge fund. To market myself, I would like to prepare a research report / trade idea.

What software (E.g. Word, PowerPoint, etc.) are you guys and gals using to format your reports and what are some formatting tips you can give? Any other general advice is appreciated.

Thanks all in advance you for your input.
