The Equity Research Cell at IIFT strives to bring a culture of critical analysis and thorough research of investment avenues. It also helps the student community in building requisite knowledge in the specific domain they want to excel. At Equity Research Cell, we help those students who want to pursue their career in finance, more specifically in equity research, by floating various competitions such as stock pitch report preparation, virtual trading, etc, and by conducting various knowledge transfer sessions on topics of relevance. We also publish quarterly sectoral reports on various sectors based on technical and fundamental analysis. At ERC, we strive to nurture the talent of enthusiastic students by providing them a platform where they can unleash their potential.

 

ERC, The Equity Research Cell at IIFT is a student-run initiative that aims to encourage the students to develop an enthusiasm for active market analysis and practice classroom learning through implementation.
