“I spent summer 2018 at Folger Hill Asset Management, a hedge fund, as an investment intern. My daily job includes building top-down industrial models, conducting bottom-up fundamental equity research, and analysing information related to more than a hundred stocks.
I love my job here and I love this industry. At this stage, you compete with many other market players and sharpen your brain to survive and beat others. This is a place for you to identify any minor relationships between dots and connect them in a logical but creative way.
The equity market is about more than the financial and accounting terms you learn in class. The equity market is essentially people’s daily life. Some listed companies manufacture food, beverages or automobiles. Others are running airlines, banks, casinos or logistics. There are also many companies developing houses and offices for people to live in. Doing equity investment research can fulfil your dreams to explore how society works.”
