Hey, ECM / DCM bankers! help me prepare for BB ECM/DCM Internship – Need Advice on Resources, Tools, and Market Updates
Hi everyone,
I’m an upcoming intern for a BB bank, and during my internship, I will be working across both ECM and DCM. I want to better prepare myself for the role, and I’d really appreciate your insights on the following:
-
Daily Market Updates:
- Are there any resources or platforms (free or paid) that provide concise daily market updates tailored for ECM or DCM professionals?
-
Market Update Slide Templates:
- Can anyone share examples or templates of market update slides typically used in day-to-day work in ECM or DCM?
- If templates can’t be shared directly, could you guide me on what sections or information these slides usually include? (I want to practice making these slides before I join the team)
-
Key Elements in Market Summaries/Commentaries:
- What are the must-have elements in daily market summaries or commentaries in ECM or DCM?
- For example, I assume interest rate changes, bond yields, major equity index moves, and IPO/issuance trends would be included, but I’d love to know more specifics! ;)
-
- I know functions like “LEAG” (league tables), “IPO,” “RV” (relative valuation), “EQS” (equity screening), and “ANR” (analyst recommendations) are frequently used. Are there any other Bloomberg Terminal functions I should master for ECM/DCM work, and why? (Before joining the team, I'd like to familiarize myself with these functions at my school's BBG lab)
-
Additional Tips or Tricks:
- Any general advice or hacks for excelling during a ECM/DCM internship?
- Specific technical skills, habits, or mindset tips that helped you succeed in a similar role?
Thanks in advance for your help! I’m quite nervous and excited about the internship and want to hit the ground running. Any guidance or shared experiences would mean a lot to me!
