Market Research Analyst Interview Question:

Describe the equity research structure?

Submitted by: Murtaza

Equity Research organizational chart is very flat. There are only 3 levels: associate, analyst and the Head of Equity Research. Each analyst is responsible for covering companies in a particular sector. We illustrate only some of these sectors. In reality, there are many more sectors and sub-sectors as an investment bank can have anywhere from 10 analysts (boutique investment bank) to as many as 60 analysts (big bulge brackets with international operations).
A single analyst typically has one or two associates depending on how many companies he covers.
