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.
What we do
Curious about financial markets and how sustainability factors can influence long-term investment outcomes? Over the course of the summer, you’ll gain insight into ESG research and stewardship, as well as how sustainable investment frameworks are developed and applied across industries and themes.
From day one, you’ll be fully immersed in the team, empowered to contribute, take ownership, and make informed decisions, supported by a wealth of resources including Fidelity’s proprietary research. You’ll sharpen your analytical and critical thinking abilities by assisting on decision-relevant projects for portfolio managers, analysts, clients, and other key stakeholders.
What you will be doing
Over the course of a 10-week programme, you’ll have the opportunity to work on live projects, attend meetings, and make your own recommendations. If you show promise and improvement over the course of the summer, you could be offered a place on our graduate programme.
You could:
- Conduct research and analysis on themes, sectors, or individual companies, to inform our research notes, primers, and thought-leadership pieces.
- Support ESG engagement with various stakeholders, including proxy voting-related activities.
- Contribute to projects that aim to enhance our Sustainable Investing capabilities and solutions.
Every step of the way, you’ll be supported by an assigned buddy, a mentor, and the wider investment team. You’ll have a company-wide Fidelity Induction in your first week and then specific technical training in your second week with us. You’ll also be invited to bite-sized learning sessions and can attend virtual drop-in sessions with the Early Careers team to answer your questions and support you throughout the programme.
What we look for
It’s who you are that matters here, rather than what you studied. We’re looking for critical thinkers with curiosity, attention to detail, ambition, resilience, comfort with numeracy, and an absolute commitment to serving the best interests of our clients.
We welcome applications from all degree disciplines. You’ll need to be in the penultimate year of your degree and available to complete 10 weeks of full-time work this coming summer. As we’re an international organisation, we’ll also need you to speak English.
Our clients come from all walks of life and so do we. We’re proud of our inclusive culture and encourage applications from the widest mix of talent, whatever your age, gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender identity, or social background.
