Second Week at Thomson Reuters
June 6, 2010
First of all I would like to start by saying that I finally met up with my boss/ mentor Mr. Yosef Kaplan, and I was happy to find out that Mr. Kaplan is easygoing and insightful, yet at the same time quite demanding. The tasks I perform really open up my mind in regard to the many companies with which Thomson Reuters conducts business with on daily basis, as well as the many services and products that Thomson Reuters provides to the market.
In my second week here at Thomson Reuters, I finalized my market research regarding the many companies’ financial reporting and analysis methods. The task as I explained in a previous post was not easy but quite interesting and enjoyable to perform.
This week I’m about to start conducting research, which will be mainly done by phone/ conference calls. The research targets portfolio managers from around the world that represent different international companies. The research mainly revolves around the notion that the reclassification by the MSCI (Morgan Stanley Capital International’s market capitalization weighted index) of the Israeli equity market from EM – ‘Emerging Market’ to DM – ‘Developed Market’ may impact the way in which these very same investors carry on their business decisions. More specifically, I will be trying to collect useful data that will later be used as the premise for any adjustments that may need to be taken by Thomson Reuters when approaching future investors, wishing to invest within the Israeli equity market.
