• Build and maintain financial models (DCF, comps, SOTP) and earnings forecasts for covered companies
• 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
