Internships
Develop your skills over the course of a summer internship and gain valuable experience in the asset management industry. You’ll also have the chance to potentially earn yourself a place on one of our graduate programmes. Here, we tell you about the business areas we offer internships in.
Spend your summer finding out how our Multi Asset team deliver outcome-focused investment solutions.
What we do
It’s important that a fund makes a return on the initial investment. Our job is to research and decide on the best markets and funds to invest in, whether it be a Fidelity fund or that of another asset manager.
How you’ll spend your time
Over the course of an 10-week programme, you’ll learn how different asset classes behave. If you show promise and improvement over the course of the summer, you could be offered a place on our graduate programme.
Analytical
You will be analysing both quantitative and qualitative information. Outstanding attention to detail is needed.
Self-motivated
We like to see those who enjoy thinking independently and are happy to make decisions even if only limited information is available.
Good communications
You enjoy communicating your ideas and insights in a variety of different ways; written, oral and in presentation form.
Penultimate year
You will need to be in the penultimate year of your degree and available to complete 10 weeks of full-time work this coming summer (exact dates are still TBC).
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 value the different ways that people think. The best way to explore that is to hear from you. Our initial online application form is a quick and easy process designed to take as little time as possible, so you can get on to the immersive testing and interview stages - where you can really show who you are.
You will need to provide an up to date CV.
*Please note if you are currently on a Tier 4 student visa, this means you have the right to work in the UK
Our online testing uses a fun neuroscience-based test to help you show off your best traits. When you submit your application form you will be automatically invited to complete our online assessment within 5 days (please check you spam/junk mail folder for the invite).
If you’re successful at the online stage, we’ll invite you to do a 30-minute video interview within 5 days (please check you spam/junk mail folder for the invite). You’ll be asked to answer 4-5 strengths-based questions and have 30 seconds to read the question, and up to a minute to give your answer. If you feel you will need extra time to record your interview, please email us earlycareersatfidelity@fil.com to discuss before launching your video interview.
You’ll be given a practice question before you start so you have time to get used to the format. There isn’t a wrong or right answer, this is a chance for you to show us how you approach answering questions about your strengths and interests.
The next stage of our application process is either a face-to-face or Zoom interview, depending on your location. The questions you’ll be asked here are a combination of motivational and strengths-based questions and give us a chance to understand what you enjoy and what areas of the role fuel your enthusiasm. It’s best not to over-prepare for these as we want you to be yourself and feel relaxed. Remember to think about specific examples of when you’ve demonstrated your strengths so that we can get a clear view of who you are a person.
During the assessment, you will be involved in a mix of technical and motivational interviews, a numerical test or group task, and a technical case study exercise. The day is also a great chance for you to meet different members of the team here at Fidelity and ask any questions you have about the business - this day is as much about you making sure Fidelity is the right place for you as us assessing your strengths.
Stand out at the assessment centre and we’ll offer you a place on the programme. We can assign you a current graduate as a buddy to help with your decision making. Plus, they’ll continue to be on hand to support you throughout your early career at Fidelity.
