Good morning and happy Monday! This week we are joined by two of the Macquarie Group Equity Research team - Kristen Edmond, Head of Equity Research for ANZ and Marni Lysaght, Vice President. They both have had impressive careers in finance, and join us today to shed light on Equity Research as a career option, and on their experiences in the industry.

Kristen and Marni speak about their careers so far, what drew them to Equity Research over other areas of finance, challenges they have faced and how their roles have evolved.

They offer insight into who is suited to a career in Equity Research over other areas of finance, and offer tips to how a student can best position themselves to break into the industry.

Finally they Kristen and Marni discuss the Equity Research industry in Australia, including changes they have observed and trends emerging.
