Spend your summer learning how to turn information into insight. Working with and learning from experts in our award-winning team, your work will help clients make informed investment decisions. You’ll support our innovative thinking, and you’ll be encouraged to contribute big ideas of your own.
What to expect
Expect to do more than just observe. Throughout your ten weeks, you’ll be right where the action is. You’ll rotate through two coverage areas, working closely with a Senior Analyst to analyze industry trends and company financials. You’ll take on a wide range of challenges, which could include:
- Building financial models and industry databases
- Scrutinizing publications, annual reports and financial filings to unearth key information for colleagues
- Synthesizing and interpreting company data
- Turning your findings into reports to support investment ideas
- Developing marketing materials.
How you’ll develop
Throughout the summer, our support will help you deliver your best work. In our team-driven environment, you’ll find that mentoring happens naturally and friendships are easy to form. Senior and junior mentors will guide your progress, and networking and social events will provide a fully rounded experience. Halfway through, you’ll get constructive feedback on your performance. By the time the summer’s over, you’ll walk away with a solid understanding of our business, our culture and your potential place within it. If you perform well and meet our hiring criteria, you could have a full-time role waiting for you after graduation.
