Equity research

Conduct fundamental bottom-up research into publicly traded companies and identify attractive investment opportunities for our client funds.

Who we are

Feel passionate about becoming an investor and making a real difference to our clients’ futures? Enjoy taking ownership of your own work? We will provide unrivalled access to information, experts, and industry leaders, giving you the opportunity to conduct fundamental bottom-up research into publicly traded companies and identify attractive investment opportunities for our client funds. 

You will be immersed in real work from the start and, using your own initiative, will be empowered to make your own decisions. You will be able to enjoy working independently as much as being part of a team. With a natural desire to learn, you will get to understand the importance of deep analytical thinking in making recommendations on behalf of our clients and Fidelity.

What I will be doing

During your early career within Equity Research, you will be regionally aligned and will gain valuable insight into several sectors to enable you to build the base of expertise you need to become either a Career Analyst or a Portfolio Manager. Essentially, you will be making a call to buy or sell individual securities.

You'll meet with senior management from publicly traded companies in your sector. You will build a relationship with a range of key industry stakeholders - from current competitors to potential entrants to regulators and politicians - to form a deep understanding of the prospects for the sector and the companies within it.

You'll meet with senior management from key publicly traded companies in your sector. You will also meet with a range of key industry stakeholders - from current competitors to potential entrants to regulators and politicians - to form a deep understanding of the future prospects for the sector and the companies within it. 
 

You'll research and analyse the products, services, strategies, competitive advantages, and financial data of the companies in your sector. You will assess their current and future competitive position and investigate the competency of their management teams to determine whether they are worthwhile investments.

You will build financial models (covering profit & loss, cashflow and balance sheet statements) that allow us to identify the share price drivers of each company, forecast its earnings and estimate its intrinsic value quickly and accurately.

You'll compile this robust analysis into concise research reports, recommending to our team of Portfolio Managers the companies that should be owned within our client funds.

Getting ready for your interview

We've collected advice from across the business to help you prepare for your success

Please remember that past performance is not necessarily a guide to future performance, the performance of investments is not guaranteed, and the value of your investments can go down as well as up, so you may get back less than you invest. When investments have particular tax features, these will depend on your personal circumstances and tax rules may change in the future. This website does not contain any personal recommendations for a particular course of action, service or product. You should regularly review your investment objectives and choices and, if you are unsure whether an investment is suitable for you, you should contact an authorised financial adviser. Before opening an account, please read the 'Doing Business with Fidelity' document which incorporates our client terms. Prior to investing into a fund, please read the relevant key information document which contains important information about the fund.
