What Does a Financial Analyst Actually Do?

There are several different types of investment firms who hire financial analysts. These are:
- Asset managers
- Private equity firms
- Hedge funds
- Venture capital firms
- The investment arms of insurance companies
- Real estate investment trusts (REITs)
- Mutual funds
- Big 4 firms
- And Pension funds
The common denominator is that these organizations need financial analysts who can help them assess companies from the prism of investment potential. In most cases, they study externally available financial statements to identify suitable investment opportunities. Financial analysts working for investment companies have an external perspective – their main focus is identifying and acquiring assets with superior ROI. A financial analyst working for an investment firm is rarely involved in the core operational activities of the businesses they invest in.

Typically, small businesses with (50 to 200 employees) can afford a few financial analysts (sometimes even just one). In this case, a financial analyst has much more extensive responsibilities and acquires a complete 360-degree visibility of the business.

In large firms, this isn’t the case as financial analysts tend to focus on a specific part of the business only and pay much greater attention to it.

Its worse here, our economy is like a flailing fish, fighting for its life. The normal state of the U.S. economy is actually very bad. Because of this it goes into convulsive spasms fighting to grow any way it can out of desperation. Tricks, gimmicks, rule changes try to stimulate the economy and prevent it from falling but they only bring temporary relief to people since, when you factor in inflation we are declining.
