Are you looking for a summer internship in Investment Management? One that develops commercial acumen alongside your technical skills?
We’re looking for undergraduates who can answer “yes” to the above for our 2023 Credit Rating Summer Internship programme. If you’re successful, you’ll join Legal & General’s well-regarded Investment Management business, which plays a pivotal role in our continued success.
What you’ll be doing
Over an 8-week program (starting July 2023) you will be part of a team, working with our colleagues and gaining first-hand experience at working in an Investment Management business. You will learn about the industry, our clients, and our firm. You will have the opportunity to develop new skills, meet new people and have the chance to add real value to the team you are working with.
Based in the Credit Rating team in Private Credit, your day-to-day will cover learning diverse aspects of financial and business analysis, including an introduction to financial modelling and fundamental credit analysis across a range of sectors, so you can build and develop your opinion of companies operating in the global capital markets. You’ll have access to the key decision makers in LGIM across the Credit and Investment Committees, deal makers, research, portfolio management and transaction teams – a great opportunity for an insight into the full breadth of the Private Credit industry.
All we ask is that you are curious, motivated and have a desire to learn more about a career in Investment Management!
