Michigan Equity Research Club, also known as MERC, is an undergraduate student organization at the University of Michigan focused on building the technical and behavioral competence of our members to succeed in equity research positions. Membership entails a three-phased approach starting with (1) the Pupil educational program to coach new members (called Pupils) on accounting, equity markets, economic trends, valuational analysis, modeling, and reporting concepts. Pupils graduate to become (2) Analysts performing research for real-world projects like offering investment consulting services and writing bi-weekly economic reports. Seasoned analysts can then be hired into (3) Associate, Senior analyst, or Director roles responsible for managing report quality, organizing club functions, educating members, and pursuing new clients. MERC offers a comprehensive opportunity for any student interested in equity research or similar analyst positions.
