"Pooled" associates
Anyone work in an equity research associate role where he or she has been 'pooled' with other associates in aiding analysts across different-sized companies (within the same sector)? i.e. an associate working with other associates to help build reports for a small-cap equities analyst, a large-cap equities analyst, a trust analyst, etc. I think the more familiar set-up is that an associate is assigned to only one analyst.
If so, what was your opinion of this sort of training ground? Very briefly, I see some pros and cons:
Pros:
- Increased exposure to different companies which may lead to discovery of "inefficiencies" in stock pricing more often
- Learn different types of valuation for different scenarios
- Won't have to suffer working solely for one analyst if you and that person do not get along
- Environment is more conducive to team work since there will be seemingly increased interaction between associates and analysts
Cons:
- Can be frustrating trying to please analysts who employ conflicting methodology in their evaluations of companies
- May be less familiar with a core set of companies
- Less recognition by an analyst that works with many associates
Are there any major points that I'm missing? Thanks for your time.
Really, your bank splits up analysts by market cap instead of sub-sectors?
