Streater Research

conducted an exit interview with me where they allowed me to give them honest feedback

which they took on board. Although I don't see myself working in the museum sector in the

future, I am looking forward to keeping in touch with the rest of the team at TSM.

My role as a summer Utilities analyst at Streater Research involved building a sum-of-the parts

valuation model for FTSE 100 Utilities, including National Grid, SSE and water companies. I

spent much of my time researching into the energy capacity markets and the regulatory price

control frameworks set on these utility monopolies by governmental regulators. To build the

valuation model, I used revenue predictions derived from governmental regulations as

forecasts feeding into the DCF model.

My commuting journey (bus-train-bus) takes a large chunk of time out of my day, but it does

provide me with the opportunity to get up-to-date on my emails in the morning, and to wind

down at the end of the day after work. A typical day at work involves reading the FT and other

news in the morning, then getting ready for any upcoming external meetings. Apart from

meetings, my work mainly involved research and

compiling research findings, and also building models in

excel. Although my research and valuation project was

independent, I worked closely in a team of 4. All of us

work on slightly different projects within the energy

sector; communication can massively speed up the

research process.
