Example of work as a Bank analyst

An analyst in a large Danish bank has been given the task of updating the entire team of the market every day at 10:00.

To do this the analyst starts each day with research. The research entails checking what has happened on the market the day before e.g. interest rate developments and looking into any relevant political situation that might influence the market.

He then sums the research up by making a PowerPoint presentation.

He covers what has happened the day before and what to expect today.

At the 10:00-meeting the analyst presents the findings and take any questions that might raise.
