Want to be part of our next big M&A deal? Does the prospect of restructuring a major corporation’s debt excite you? This could be the programme for you.

Coverage & Advisory analysts provide the intellectual horsepower behind some of our biggest projects. They carry out company and sector research, analyse financial data and offer strategic conclusions to support our senior bankers. Their work tends to be highly specialised. Analysts will either support a specific product team or an industry sector team.

Graduates on this programme receive a range of different experiences, spending time with both our individual product teams and our industry sector teams. Examples of the former include Mergers & Acquisitions, Equity Capital Markets and Corporate Financing & Risk Solutions. Through these placements, you’ll be able to make an informed decision about where to specialise.
 
Individual teams in this area tend to be small, so expect real responsibility from an early stage. You’ll learn how to carry out valuation analysis and how to build financial models. We’ll also show you how to perform in-depth research into both companies and sectors, as well as how to consolidate your findings into compelling client presentations. 

What we look for
Competition for these roles is intense, so we’ll be looking for more than just strong academics. A flair for communication and problem-solving will also be a priority. Previous experience within investment banking would be useful, and while we accept applications from all degree disciplines, you’ll need to have had some exposure to financial studies and models (or at least a demonstrable interest in this area).
