Role Overview
We are seeking a self driven individual to join the DBS Group Research team. The role is to support multi-sector equity research coverage across regional markets. The successful candidate will work closely with senior analysts to produce institutional-grade research on companies spanning multiple sectors (e.g., real estate, financials, industrials, consumer, or as assigned), with a regional (Asia-Pacific / Southeast Asia) mandate. This is a hands-on role combining financial modelling, sector analysis, and increasingly, AI-augmented research workflows.

- Build and maintain financial models (DCF, comps, SOTP) and earnings forecasts for covered companies
- Track quarterly results, company announcements, and sector news flow; flag material developments
- Conduct company and industry due diligence, including channel checks, site visits, and management engagement
- Assist in preparing investor-facing materials: research decks, factsheets, sector dashboards, and comparative valuation tables
- Monitor regional peers and cross-market read-throughs relevant to covered sectors
- Contribute to house-view thematic research and portfolio strategy pieces
- Maintain data accuracy across internal databases, screens, and consensus trackers
- Support ad hoc requests from sales, trading, and institutional clients
