The Investment Research Team
The Investment Research team is the most rigorous and demanding division at GIS. We are a team of 25 Investment Analysts who work together to create thorough investment research reports on a variety of investments. We currently have four investment strategy teams, each specializing in a specific investment strategy. We believe that the best investors are able to approach investment opportunities from a diverse perspective. We expose our analysts to esoteric investment strategies because we believe it is an imperative step toward expanding complex, diverse, and unique perspectives for selecting opportunities, and pursuing a successful finance career.
