Is Real Estate Advisory a coverage / m&a group?

Hi all,

I applied for an internship in Real Estate Advisory but I don't exactly know whether it's a coverage / m&a team or real estate finance (structured finance team) or even something else. I'm looking for a corporate finance / IBD (as defined here in WSO) to gain experience before I apply to summer internship. Btw, I did an internship in ECM and I don't want to be stuck in Structured Finance / Capital Markets so I prefer trying another department before being labelled as a such a banker (Even if I really enjoyed my time in ECM)

Here is the description of the job:

The team is involved in mergers, fund raising, debt restructuring, debt & equity arranging and special situations in the real estate sector. The trainee will be incorporated to the Real Estate Advisory team and will perform primarily the following tasks: - Build cash flow models, - Perform financial analysis, - Assist in the preparation of pitch books for clients, - Gather & analyse sector trends, - Assist in the execution of mandates, - Analyse and summarise due diligence material.

Your job will enable you to develop: • Technical Know-How (financial analysis, excel modelling), • Financial & risk analysis skills in real estate, • Knowledge of the real estate market, • Interpersonal skills.
