Research Analysts to Face Deepening Job Cuts
The Financial Times reports that the ranks of investment bank research analysts have fallen by 10% since 2012, as tighter regulation and falling profits have forced financial institutions to cull their brigades of economists, bond strategists and stock pickers.
The number of analysts working at the world’s 12 biggest investment banks fell to 5,981 last year. That’s down from 6,282 at the end of 2015, and 6,634 at the end of 2012, when Coalition - a data provider on the industry - began to collect the numbers. The cuts are expected to deepen in the coming years.
'We will have massive cost pressures in an industry that is not ready for it at all', said Matthew Benkendorf, chief investment officer at Vontobel Asset Management. 'They’ll have to gut things pretty hard'.
