About Michigan Equity Research Club

Michigan Equity Research Club, also known as MERC, is a highly selective undergraduate student organization at the University of Michigan focused on building the technical and behavioral competence of our members to succeed in the world of finance. New members will be placed into a sector of their preference where they will conduct weekly research reports allowing them to be experts in their given sector by the end of the semester. Membership entails the mandatory attendance of bi-weekly meetings for new members (Associates). Throughout these associate meetings, new members will learn the essential knowledge to succeed in finance such as accounting basics, research strategies, components of equity research reports, and valuation methods. In the second weekly meeting, all active members will partake in in-depth market discussions, stock pitches, sector updates, and other interactive activities. After one semester in the club, associates are promoted to analyst or have the opportunity to apply for a role on the executive board. MERC offers a comprehensive opportunity for any student interested in equity research positions or in the world of finance.
