- Track quarterly results, company announcements, and sector news flow; flag material developments
- Conduct company and industry due diligence, including channel checks, site visits, and management engagement
- Assist in preparing investor-facing materials: research decks, factsheets, sector dashboards, and comparative valuation tables
- Monitor regional peers and cross-market read-throughs relevant to covered sectors
- Contribute to house-view thematic research and portfolio strategy pieces
- Maintain data accuracy across internal databases, screens, and consensus trackers
- Support ad hoc requests from sales, trading, and institutional clients
