Research analysts and traders are vital to the firm’s fundamental investing groups, and we’re looking for talented individuals with unique perspectives to join our inclusive and collegial team. Candidates may have a passion for investing, but they may also be newcomers to the field and simply interested in tackling complex, multifaceted problems that are ever-changing and reach far beyond the finance industry. The program is expected to run from June to August 2024.

What you’ll do day-to-day

Interns will research, analyze, and perform due diligence on specific companies or industries to help the team assess potential investments. Interns will be tasked with staying up to date on current news and trends, reading company reports, and analyzing data from a variety of sources. Because our approach sits at the intersection of finance and technology, our interns employ a number of technological platforms to analyze market data and ultimately make qualitative decisions based on these analyses

Who we’re looking for

• Candidates will excel at problem-solving and have an interest in financial markets (absolutely no previous finance experience is necessary, however).
• Successful interns will not only analyze new investment ideas but will also contribute ideas of their own.
• Preference will be given to students approaching their final year of full-time study toward a bachelor’s or advanced degree, though all are encouraged to apply.
