OpenAI Student Collective

Morgan Stanley

Step-In, Step-Up insight programme

An introduction to how the main divisions of an investment bank work together.

Through workshops and rotations, I explored investment banking, equity research, sales and trading, and risk management. The programme provided context for the different questions each division asks and the ways their work connects.

An early grounding in private-market research and valuation.

I researched biopharma and heavy-industry sectors, developed familiarity with private-market investment workflows, and supported three industry research reports and valuation analyses.

Consumer-sector field research

Early research experience

Looking at businesses through their stores, supply chains and customers.

In summer 2023, I took part in research on major sports-retail chains in Wuhan, comparing business fundamentals, supply chains and resource allocation across regions.

In 2024, I conducted food-and-beverage field research in Changsha, covering tea beverages, alcoholic drinks and packaged snacks. I examined how consumer behaviour, brand positioning and location strategy relate to business performance.
