When interviewing for ER roles in Europe, do I have to prepare pitches on EU stocks?
Hi! I'm in a unique, not-great position; after a master's at a non-target, I managed to get an equity research job at a very small hedge fund (<$10m AUM) based in the US. I work for that fund remotely from Europe and I want to move into a larger organization soon, preferably on the sell-side (my knowledge base is not as good as it should be and I'm continually learning, so buy-side recruiting is out of the question). I've been working for that fund for a year and a half and I have only ever analyzed US listed equities. Once I start applying for ER jobs in Europe - London to be precise - I wonder if I should start doing research on European equities or if it's justifiable to only have done research on US listed equities.
Thanks!
Yes if you plan to cover Euro stocks.
is it normal for funds in europe/uk to focus on US-listed equities over euro-listed equities?
No. It makes no sense for them to do so really. Broker/sell side access is worse, hours are all wrong, management access is tougher.
In order to prepare for a European ER team's interview process, where do you think I should start to get my data? With US equities, it's as simple as typing sec.gov/edgar, but I have yet to find a tool that is just as powerful for EU companies.
