The Investment Banking Analyst Role

Investment banking analysts support associates and investment bankers in winning, executing, and closing a wide range of financial deals and activities, such as equity and debt offerings, mergers and acquisitions, valuations, leveraged buyouts, private equity placements, and strategic advisory work. They perform tasks like conducting research and financial analysis, building financial models, doing due diligence, and creating presentations.

As the work of investment banking analysts is critical in driving investment decisions, these professionals need to excel in conducting research on various financial assets, such as stocks, bonds, commodities, real estate, and more, finding various sources, including financial statements, news, economic indicators, and market trends. They also need to have a strong grasp of investment risk and securities analysis, and expertise in statistics, quantitative analysis, and financial modeling.


Competition for Investment Banking Analyst Roles

Few careers command the level of respect and appeal that investment banking analysis does. Aspiring investment banking analysts are drawn to this field for its promise of solid career foundation, high compensation, great exit opportunities, and the chance to work with management teams and participate in critical financial transactions.
