Investment Research & Analysis
Here, you can find out more about Investment Research at Citi,
our work, our clients and where you could fit into the team.
What is Investment Research?
Investment Research is about understanding companies and their
business environment. Through this process we help our internal and
external clients allocate their capital to achieve the best
risk-adjusted investment returns possible. With over 300 equity
analysts covering over 2,800 companies worldwide, Citi Investment
Research is an industry leader in equity research globally. We
provide clients with comprehensive research analysis of the world's
economies, companies and industries, enabling them to make informed
and profitable investment decisions. We also provide clients with
comprehensive quantitative analysis on both an industry and
company-specific level.
What services do we provide for our clients?
Our clients comprise external and internal groups. External clients
include institutional investors at pension funds, unit trusts and
hedge funds. Our Equity, Sales and Trading force, Private Bank, and
Private Client Group form our internal constituencies.
Our client base is very diverse and their requirements vary wildly.
As such, our Analysts in this area need to be highly flexible. On a
given day, our Analysts may be required to give clients an
immediate assessment of breaking news that is moving a company's
share price, as well as provide a detailed analysis of long-term
industry trends within the sector. Our Analysts must also remain in
constant contact with your clients in order to provide
best-in-class service.
What products/groups do we cover?
We are one of the few companies in our industry that provides full
industry coverage on both a global and a regional level. This is
based around the major stock market sectors including Financials,
Consumer, Pharmaceuticals, Telecoms, Industrials and so on. In
addition, we provide macro-analyses of markets, economies and
quantitative analysis of securities. We also have teams dedicated
to providing specialized research on accounting and valuation
topics and on socially responsible investing.
