Investment Analyst

A career as an investment analyst involves having in-depth knowledge of examining financial and investment information. This background knowledge is necessary because investment analysts will need to research and investigate stocks, bonds, currencies, and commodities. They also work in teams and present the details they have gathered to other investment managers, who will discuss the information before deciding on the investment process. Moreover, some additional details an investment analyst may collect is information on the company or country. Being an investment analyst is quite intense, but people in this career travel the world and have great benefits. Someone in this career will probably rely on their logical-mathematical intelligence because they have to utilize computers for research, interpret statistics, brainstorm investment ideas, interact with other team members, be systematic in their work, keep information organized, and learn information from their client quickly.
