When do associate analysts get credited in reports?

Hi,

I have been an associate for 1.5 years in equity research. I would like to get some advice in 3 areas.

Firstly, when do associates' names get printed on reports?

Secondly, what are the SEC rules/ US rules about acknowledging persons who have contributed to research reports?

Lastly, I am helping a head research with coverage of US companies. However, I am hired by a subsidiary company which is not a licensed broker under SEC. Can I be credited in the research report? How could this be done?

Thanks! Your views will really be helpful!

to have your name printed on a report about a us company that is traded on a us exchange and is likely distributed to us clients, you need to have your 7, 63, 86, 87 finra licenses. your firm would need to officially sponsor you to take the exams.

another option i've seen is when the team writes a report they will write something like "thanks to our guy in beijing for his assistance in the preparation of this report."
