By Students, For Everyone

What is Analyst Collective?

Analyst Collective is a student-run investment research platform founded in 2025, publishing institutional-quality equity research, macro analysis, and sector deep-dives. All research is produced by students from leading UK universities.

We believe that rigorous financial research shouldn't be locked behind paywalls or restricted to professional institutions. Our mission is to give talented student analysts a public platform, build a community of ambitious peers, and contribute meaningfully to the wider investment conversation.

Every report published on Analyst Collective goes through a structured peer review process. Authors receive editorial feedback, fact-checking, and publication support. The result is research that holds its own against professional-grade output — and a track record students can be proud of.

Our Editorial Standards

  • All investment theses must be supported by publicly available data and cited sources
  • Financial models and valuation assumptions must be clearly disclosed
  • Authors must disclose any positions held in securities discussed
  • Research is reviewed by at least two peers before publication
  • All published research carries an educational disclaimer — it is not investment advice
  • Errors identified post-publication are corrected with a visible note

How to Contribute

  • Apply via the application form — open to all enrolled students at participating universities
  • Submit a writing sample demonstrating analytical ability
  • Successful applicants are onboarded and paired with an editorial mentor
  • Commitment: at least one published piece per term
  • All research is published under a Creative Commons licence
