What is your mental model for staying in the sell-side vs. moving over to the buy-side, e.g. joining a fund? Is there an adverse selection effect for analysts who do not eventually move over since one would assume the best analysts would be putting their money where their mouth is.
they're different roles that work together, I've seen buy-side to move to sell-side, as well as sell-side to buy-side. I don't think there's adverse selection effect, plenty of sell-side analysts (and buy-side) get paid very well
for traders, yes but that's just the stock reaction to the release (1-2 days), the more detailed buy/sell for next few months, might take 2-3 hours or more, post earnings, but remember we're working with a base of knowledge about the company & industry
Yes! Don't let your school influence your future potential, that's very silly. And no CFA is not required - you just need to build the foundational skills and ability to communicate it!
@@henrychien4 Thank you for your reply I thought that in order to break in we need to go to a target school that’s what has been stopping me. Thank god about the cfa as well I heard it’s hard exam to pass and I thought that was a requirement. Is there like a course where someone can take to learn the necessary skills to break into equity research?

How much maths is there in finance like it very hard or moderate?
@@HhhHhh-s3x4j Very moderate (unless quant) - quadratics (i.e. to discount cash flows) is the hardest math function
Great Video!
Thanks for watching Colin!

So, if I got it right, you can spend 20 minutes analyzing company, and based on 20 minutes, your guys spread information to buy/sell?
for traders, yes but that's just the stock reaction to the release (1-2 days), the more detailed buy/sell for next few months, might take 2-3 hours or more, post earnings, but remember we're working with a base of knowledge about the company & industry
If you don’t go to a target school is it possible to break into equity research? Do you have to have a cfa to break in?
Yes! Don't let your school influence your future potential, that's very silly. And no CFA is not required - you just need to build the foundational skills and ability to communicate it!
