 Becoming A Financial Analyst
Financial analysts can work in both junior and senior capacities within a firm and it is a niche that often leads to other career opportunities.
An analyst must be aware of current developments in the field in which he or she specializes as well as in preparing financial models to predict future economic conditions for any number of variables.
Analysts assess current financial conditions as well as rely heavily on modeling and forecasting to make recommendations to senior partners as to whether or not a certain merger is appropriate for that investment bank's client or whether another client of the investment bank should invest venture capital in a particular company.

 RR67 - Corporate Financial Disclosure and Analyst Forecasting Activity - Preliminary Evidence for the UK   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
This project presents evidence consistent with the view that one of the main considerations driving the financial disclosure choices of UK companies, is the need to supply forward-looking, value-relevant information to professional financial analysts.
It is logically possible for analyst forecasting activity to be induced by higher levels or disclosure, or for higher levels of disclosure to be driven by higher levels of analyst following.
This result indicates that as analyst interest in a firm increases, so the firm is driven to increase the level of disclosure in its annual report.
