Equity Research Club

About Us


Mission

The Equity Research Club serves first- and second-year students exploring careers in equity research. We offer résumé reviews, mentoring, stock pitch practice and other industry-related guidance, information and support. The club also puplishes a résumé book that we distribute to recruiters at the top sell-side firms. We recommend that students interested in research join both the Equity Research Club and the Investment Management Club to best understand how the buy- and sell-sides work together. 

 About the Club
The club engages in several key activities to promote the interests and professional development of its members:

  • Event Planning
    The Equity Research Club works in conjunction with major investment banks to plan events and presentations for its members. Please see the Events section for more information.

  • Resume Books
    The club compiles a 1st year and a 2nd year resume book for electronic distribution to interested equity research recruiters. Please see the Resume Book section for more information.

  • Workshops
    The club works with NYSSA (New York Society of Security Analysts) to provide presentations on campus for stock research.  Please see the Events section for more information.

  • Mentoring
    The club's can pair up 2nd year students who have prior experience in equity research (through their pre-business school careers or their summer internships) with 1st year students interested in pursuing equity research careers.
