Requirements

  • Our firm is made up of highly motivated, intellectually curious people. We are looking for students with a strong academic record, an interest in investing and/or curiosity about how the world is changing and what makes companies successful (or not). Well-rounded candidates from a diverse range of backgrounds, who can demonstrate interests and endeavors outside of their studies, are especially welcome.
  • Our team possess a wide range of degree disciplines, and it is this variety of thought, approach and perspective which brings such vitality to our debates – our analysts studied topics as diverse as Geography, History, Maths and Physics. You do not need to be studying Economics or Finance to apply, indeed we are interested in people who can code and have the skills to interrogate unstructured data sets.
  • The programme is open to undergraduate and postgraduate students in their penultimate year of study. Please note that you must have ABB in your top three A-levels (excluding general studies), and a minimum predicted or obtained 2.1 university degree classification (or equivalent if you studied outside the UK).

Responsibilities

  • You will be given meaningful work from the very first day you arrive. After your induction, you will be individually mentored by one of our experienced analysts for the duration of the programme.
  • The internship will give you a broad and in depth understanding of the skills required to be successful at our firm - from fundamental research, financial modelling, to portfolio construction and valuation. You will also be introduced to other activities within our business.
  • You will be given a company to analyse, and asked to present a buy/sell recommendation to a panel of investors at the end of your internship.
  • You will have opportunities to attend business, training and social events to allow you to understand our company and the asset management industry, alongside building your own network.
