THE ROLE

Investment Analysts undertake financial analysis for external or internal clients, including providing information and reports to help share investors, traders, stockbrokers and fund managers make decisions about investments.

Investment Analysts can support renewable energy and other developers and investors by sharing key insights regarding prospective renewable energy investments and decisions. They may analyse trade-offs, financial impact and returns of projects to provide a holistic and informed overview of the decision at hand. They can also support businesses with determining if their investment portfolio is aligned with a net zero emissions economy.

CONTRIBUTION TO NET ZERO

Investment Analysts are integral to making the business case for clean economy projects, supporting businesses and other stakeholders with investing in decarbonisation activities by demonstrating the financial benefits of doing so. 

COMMON CAREER CHARACTERISTICS

QUALIFICATIONS

Investment Analysts typically require a formal qualification in finance, accounting, commerce or economics, with the Bachelor of Economics and Bachelor of Finance degrees being a common entrance pathway. Alternatively, a Bachelor of Science in mathematics or computer sciences is also looked upon favourably, as these skillsets aid in financial modelling.
