Abstract
This report provides an overview of my co-op experience at National Fund Management Limited, where I worked as an intern. My main tasks included collecting financial data, mapping hydropower projects using Google Maps, and helping with general office work. These responsibilities allowed me to apply the theoretical knowledge gained from my coursework to real- world practices and develop important technical and professional skills. The report outlines the structure of National Fund Management Limited, its key functions, and the departments I was involved with. It explains how I collected and analyzed financial data using websites like Share Sansar, Mero Lagani, and Nepse Alpha, and how I used Excel to organize and present this data using functions like Pivot Tables. Additionally, I mapped potential hydropower locations in Nepal using Google Maps, combining data analysis with geographical information. The report also explains key tasks I contributed to during my co-op experience and how I helped with daily office tasks like managing documents which gave me a better understanding of how the company operates. It also highlights the challenges faced, such as the time-consuming nature of manual data collection, the limited use of advanced digital tools at the intern level, and suggestions for improvements. Overall, my co-op experience taught me the importance of accurate research, time management, and effective data handling in the investment sector. The report ends with my reflections on what I learned, areas where I improved, and suggestions for making the co-op program even better for future students.
