Hey guys, questions for other analysts as I try to get an idea for how my experience so far compares to others:
How many current positions do you typically cover at a given time? How many new ideas are you typically working on at a given time? How would you classify your fund's strategy?
For example: I cover about 10-15 positions we currently hold at a given time (mostly maintenance work-watching for news, reading filings, keeping an eye on the market/comparables). Each of these positions will also have a senior analyst involved to varying degrees (depending on the position and the senior analyst).
I am typically researching between 6 and 8 new ideas at a given time (with varying levels of intensity-something which seems to have legs will end up getting a lot of time while rough ideas may only get a little attention). Like above, senior analysts will be involved to varying degrees.
Besides working on specific names I also help seniors with industry coverage (currently have 6 fairly broad industries); this is somewhere in between our idea generation and position maintenance.
Multi-strategy credit fund
Anyone?
L/S equity fund doing Tech/Telecom. Cover about 30 - 40 positions with varying degrees of intensity. Usually working on about 5 - 10 new ideas also with varying intensity like you said.
What is your usual time allocation of new ideas vs current positions in an average week?
I'm currently on the sell side and trying to make the jump
Thanks Secretariat.
Any others?
