What will I be doing?
Over the course of a 12-week programme, you’ll research individual stocks and present your findings to a panel of senior investors. If you show promise and improvement over the course of the summer, you could be offered a place on our graduate programme.
You'll learn how our team of Analysts formulate investment theses in order to advise Portfolio Managers.
You'll be given a set of progressively more controversial stocks of your own to research, you'll be mentored by a
Director of Research, learn from Portfolio Managers and have the freedom to express your ideas and judgement on
whether the stocks you are analysing should be bought or sold.
Throughout your 12-week programme, you'll present your findings to a panel of senior investment professionals.

Learning & development
You will be highly valued here and your development is heavily invested in. Find out about the support and training you receive with your programme.
We don’t expect you to come straight in and know everything about what we do. You’ll start the internship with a mini induction, during which we’ll introduce you to asset management and how it fits into the City, as well as to the broader financial markets. We will then provide you with core financial modelling and company valuation training.
There are many ways to develop your skills as your internship progresses. A series of ‘lunch and learns’ hosted by key business speakers including Portfolio Managers will give you a first-hand, genuine insight into the full scope of each of our businesses.
