Equity Research
Long/Hold/Short
All about Equity.
The Equity Research Division represents the bottom-up component of our investment approach. Our members screen and analyze equities on a regular basis individually or in small teams.
They build financial models, draft equity research reports and pitch stocks in a competitive manner throughout the semester and at our Final Pitching Session.
