For comprehensive and nuanced knowledge about any security, Bloomberg Intelligence is the ideal place to start your research. The 300 BI research professionals around the world take pride in the fact that they don\u2019t let buy\/sell ratings influence their work. They want you to draw your own conclusions.<\/p>\n

With roughly 100,000 reads per day, BI\u2019s reports offer independent, fact-driven insights for Bloomberg\u2019s equity, fixed income, C-suite, and investor relations clients. To better understand the wide-ranging scope of the department\u2019s analysis, we take a closer look at the inner workings of the BI team.<\/p>\n

\"Dave<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What is Bloomberg Intelligence?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cBloomberg Intelligence is Bloomberg\u2019s investment research department,\u201d explains\u00a0Dave Dwyer, BI\u2019s global lead. \u201cWe provide insights into 140 industries and 2,000-plus companies. We identify major themes and determine how they could affect the value of securities, like bonds and stocks.\u201d<\/p>\n

Say, for example, a client is thinking about investing in AT&T.\u00a0BI\u2019s multifaceted company primer focused on the company\u00a0addresses factors affecting its prospects, including government policy, critical litigation, credit risk, and relevant industry trends. The primer reveals the factors that will influence AT&T\u2019s securities prices over the short, intermediate, and long-term. With BI, the client has access to comprehensive in-depth research on AT&T, including financial reviews.<\/p>\n

How BI fits into Bloomberg<\/strong><\/p>\n

BI\u2019s offerings are especially attractive to clients hungering for quality, objective research and analysis. As a result, hundreds of terminals are sold each year with the help of BI\u2019s analysts and the information they provide.<\/p>\n

Through the breadth of its coverage across industries, BI seamlessly adds value to several revenue-generating departments at Bloomberg.<\/p>\n

\u201cBesides Sales, we also work closely with News, providing journalists with data they may not have,\u201d says Dave. \u201cWe work with Global Data to improve the breadth and quality of data. BI analysts also help improve products and functions, because they use the terminal the same way clients do.\u201d<\/p>\n

A day in the life of a Credit Research Analyst<\/strong><\/p>\n

Louise Parker is a London-based credit research analyst \u2014 and she absolutely loves her job. \u201cI\u2019m a bit of an educator,\u201d she says. \u201cI get great satisfaction in helping someone with a research issue, or not seeing a security from a certain angle. I love educating clients and surprising them with a fresh take.\u201d<\/p>\n

Louise has been with Bloomberg a little more than a year. She looks at companies from a fixed income point of view, diving deep into things like cash flow, debt, and leverage, and how that compares to a company\u2019s peers. Doing so is another way to judge whether an issuer\u2019s bonds look rich or cheap, but on fixed income issues, such as credit worthiness and peer comparisons.<\/p>\n

\u201cI look more broadly at a company,\u201d Louise explains. \u201cI look at the credit report next to an equity report, because we\u2019re talking about different things. And I look up and down the credit spectrum to see how the factors affect the valuation of the company\u2019s bonds, to see which bonds have more or less value relative to peers and the Bloomberg Bond Indices.\u201d<\/p>\n

On a typical day, Louise could be researching a new company, as well as monitoring news about the industries on which she\u2019s focusing \u2013 Consumer and Retail. After all, BI analysts need to keep the company primers updated. \u201cIt may be summer vacation for a lot of people, but corporations don\u2019t sit still,\u201d she points out. At the same time she could be responding to requests from clients for more data around her research, or what she thinks about Such and Such company\u2019s bond ratings.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy job is varied \u2013 no two days are alike,\u201d she reports. \u201cI love the fact that this role is entrepreneurial. I choose what to research. Yes, I have deadlines and production targets, but it\u2019s up to me to manage my time.\u201d<\/p>\n

Expanding fixed income research<\/strong><\/p>\n

BI started as an industry research department, but five years ago they gradually began to expand into other areas, such as fixed income, government policy, corporate litigation, and investment strategy. The majority of what BI currently does \u2013 and what they\u2019re most known for \u2014 is typically viewed as equity research, but the credit and strategy work has grown in importance. Current credit coverage is largely U.S. focused, but soon that won\u2019t be the case.<\/p>\n

In a sign of BI\u2019s growing influence and the pressing need for its unique, in-depth research, the team is increasing their portfolio of credit research to provide a broader global footprint.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are expanding because MiFID II creates opportunities for insightful research,\u201d says\u00a0Joel Levington, head of Fixed Income Research for BI. \u201cCredit research from banks and other financial institutions is becoming less and less available because of rising costs. And in many cases, research isn\u2019t being published at all!\u201d<\/p>\n

So, BI is aiming to fill a growing research gap. And they need talented researchers looking to make their mark.<\/p>\n

Opportunities in BI<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ideal candidates for BI\u2019s open research positions are seasoned professionals with outstanding communication skills. \u201cWe want you to be forward looking with your research,\u201d Joel says. \u201cAnd you must \u2013 MUST \u2013 love doing research and connecting with clients.\u201d<\/p>\n
