Vista has a group like this, I know a guy there. My understanding is they’re a support function for the deal team, creating writeups about companies / industries ahead of meetings and doing market mapping type exercises
It's becoming more common, i shared some thoughts on this thread https://www.wallstreetoasis.com/forums/what-does-a-research-analyst-do-…
mtnmmnn Thanks for this! A couple of follow-up questions, if you don't mind. a. So, do they (maybe the director of research, who is an MD) actually have a say in the decision-making process? Is the research more-or-less proactive vs. reactive (as a response to requests from the deal team)? b. The all-in comp ($200k) you mentioned seems quite low. I am considering a move from a long-only with ~6 years of experience, and that would be a bit ofdowngrade for me. Do you think this comp can be rather company/experience-specific as it is not a traditional role?
Keep in mind that my answers in the other thread was geared toward research analysts. My firm only has analysts (2), they are supervised by a VP / Principal, but largely work independently. Their work is reactive, it is practically always driven by a demand from the investment team (ie. help me understand this) and the research team isn't really part of decision-making. That's my shop though
on b. again, I was referencing analysts, I really do not have data points for more senior hire, but would assume it's very company / experience specific so definitely not saying 200K is a ceiling. Every fund do things a bit differently, there's no standardized research department and so things may be more or less interesting depending on the opportunity you have in front of you.
