Understanding Financial Sector Jobs
Investment Banking
Investment Bankers helps companies raise funds in the capital markets, help build and execute merger and acquisition plans and advise companies on various financial / capital structuring issues. Investment Banking firms often have smaller groups focused on specialized areas such as private equity funding, IPOs, Derivatives, Mergers and Acquisitions and Advisory Services.
Financial KPOs: Knowledge Process Outsourcing (KPO) has emerged as a new fast growing business sector. Lot of finance companies currently outsource research and financial analysis functions to KPOs because it is cost effective for them. When outsourcing of financial research started a few years back it was considered as low complexity back room information support for Investment Analysts from buy side and sell side firms. This activity has now moved up the value chain considerably and the world of outsourced research has evolved significantly for many reasons. Among them some of the prominent reasons are:
Regulatory changes that are pushing for transparency Investment Banks doing research were not considered being completely unbiased.
Need for Investment Banks to remain profitable Research expertise was earlier used as marketing and promotional tool by Investment banks to attract clients. Research was basically a cost center activity. With most investment banks under profit pressure, and research no longer a marketing tool, investment banks have started strategic initiatives to outsource research to independent research institutions who are capable of doing at a fraction of the cost.
The above trend has led to the growth of the outsourced research activity; many of these firms are located in India. Some of the well known firms in this field who established their presence are: Adventity, Gridstone Research, AMBA Research, Evalueserve, Copal Partners, Irevna, Capital IQ, DE Shaw, Aranca, Netscribes, ICRA, CMIE, Capital Markets, Dwan A Day Analytics, Care Ratings, Value Notes, Viteos Capital Markets. Research work carried out by these firms includes:
Equity Research: Detailed research to recommend buy/sell price on companies under coverage. There are over 90,000 listed stocks on global exchanges and each one have to be valued on a regular basis. Financial Modeling & Valuation: Create Excel based models to get the understanding of business drivers, incorporate assumptions, risk factors and possible valuation of company. Forensic Analysis: In-depth scrutiny and analysis of Company cash flows and financial statement to verify the authenticity of disclosures, to prevent malpractices like Enron, Worldcom and Satyam. IPO Analysis: Analyze the attractiveness of IPO. Sector Research: Complete macro understanding of the sectors to identify investment opportunities. The sectors covered are typically Financial Services, Retail, Information Technology & Telecommunication, Business Services, Oil & Gas, Metals & Mining, Energy, Utilities. Screening & Profiling: Identifying Target companies for mergers , acquisitions or sell out Competitive Mapping & Analysis: Analysis to benchmark performance with peers in the sectors Market Activity Research: Carry out research on various stock exchanges, commodity exchanges on the movements and predict future trends. Mergers & Acquisitions Transaction Analysis: Research and Valuation Models to arrive at transaction valuation for companies preparing to merge or acquire. Data Collection and Aggregation Services: Information gathering from various sources, organizing the data collected, validating the data and providing the data to analysts.
Project Finance: In simple words Project Finance is financing of long-term infrastructure and industrial projects. It involves assessing the financial viability of a project and creating a funding plan through debt and equity components. Apart from people who have in-depth understanding of the specific project and business, it requires people who can create a financial model and help build the financial plan for the project.
Financial Analysts in Corporations: Companies need to analyze their own finances, build financial models for their own projects and hence often employ analysts within the company. There are also financial advisory companies who provide these services to corporations as an outsourced model.
Most fresh graduates in these firms start as research assistants and assist senior analysts in creating reports. As a research assistant one has to collect, and normalize data, build the financial model, make the report and track the announcements / developments on the company.
These firms need candidates who have strong analytical skills and specific domains knowledge in financial analysis and modeling.
