The Financial Analyst Role

Financial analysts provide informed guidance and recommendations to individual investors and companies in relation to investments, financial strategies, and economic trends. They assess different investment opportunities to determine their value and associated risks before committing money into them for the purpose of gaining profit. Financial analysts typically work in banks, insurance companies, investment management firms, pension funds, securities firms, and other data-driven financial companies.

As financial analysts are mainly responsible for different research tasks, it is vital that they do well in data gathering, organisation, and analysis. Asset valuation and financial modelling skills are other skills they need to possess in order to determine the real value of an investment opportunity, along with its associated risk and future performance and outcomes. Other notable abilities that financial analysts need to excel in their roles include financial reporting, communication, and collaboration.


Competition for Financial Analysis Roles

Few careers command the level of respect and appeal that financial analysis does. Aspiring financial analysis professionals are drawn to this field for its promise of competitive pay, career advancement, and the opportunity to influence the investment decisions of companies and individual investors. Yet the path to becoming a financial analyst is no easy feat. The competition is fierce, with the most prestigious companies in the industry receiving thousands of applications for a few coveted positions. In some cases, acceptance rates can be as low as 2%. Given such high demand and limited supply, there is no doubt that securing a financial analyst role is a true challenge.
