Equity Research Analyst Review

It was a full day with a lot of speakers explaining to us about the culture, values and initiatives of M&G. I really enjoyed this experience because I had the chance to speak to a lot of people who are currently working at M&G, and also to meet new people from other universities.

It was a day full of interaction between the students and the staff of M&G. From graduates to experienced professionals, all of them were very kind and gave us very useful information about the asset management industry, the qualities that people should have to start a career at M&G and the asset management sector as a whole.

Since the beginning we received clear guidance on what it is going to happen next in the event. The people who were running the event helped us a lot to understand quickly the concept of the trading exercise and generally we were having fun all together. The schedule that you have sent also by email was very useful too.

First of all by participating at this event we had the chance to work in teams with people from different backgrounds and nationalities that we have never met before. Thus, effective communication within a team of different people is a very useful skill that M&G helped me to develop. Further, I got an understanding on how news can affect the performance of firms and the risk that an investor should take while investing.

I really enjoyed that the 4 trading exercises took place at four different times during the event. This was very helpful because it gave us time to talk to each other and understand better what we have to do. Further, I liked that the event started with two analysts of M&G who gave us a very good perspective on the life and values of M&G.

Everyone was friendly and approachable. The people from M&G who participated at the event were very helpful and were always smiling, helping us to feel like we were at our home. Also, the students who attended the event were really open to meet other people from different universities and exchange opinions.
