How to prepare for a buyside ER Internship?

I recently landed an ER summer internship at a top global asset manager and wanted to know how best to prepare so I can convert it into a grad role.

I think the key skills I will be assessed on will be identifying and understanding the key long-term drivers of given equities (5+ year outlook) and directing my research effectively as the role seems to be quite self-directed. Are there any resources/books recommended that will help me approach this role and help me gain the 'investors mindset'? Or any other advice in general? I've not seen much on WSO about converting a buyside internship and due to the more self-directed job role (which sounds incredible) I think the advice and preparation could differ.

 

Thanks for the recommendation I’ll take a look! I’ll try to navigate the site! Searching for previous posts is never very accurate.
