Summer Internship at KeyBanc Capital Markets

Again I find myself making excuses for not blogging frequently, but this post is just that: The reason I haven’t blogged recently is I’ve started as a Summer Analyst at KeyBanc Capital Markets in Charlotte. I’m working specifically with the Industrial Group, dealing with Industrial Technology and Transportation & Logistics. Through KeyBank, we are able to offer a full range of investment banking services, including M&A advisory, credit, equity underwriting, and more.

Specifically, my ~70 hour weeks are spent making pitch books, models, doing equity research, and developing value added ideas for our clients. Almost every day I deal with a new company, a new deal, a new industry segment. I’m learning a lot, not just about the sectors we deal with, but about investment banking in general. So I’m creating a “Finance and Economics” category here on the blog, where I will post general tips, lessons learned, and my own distilled experience.

I’ll do my best to post regularly, both for my own benefit and everyone else’s. Hopefully this category can become a reference for college students wondering what investment banking is like.
