This programme is for candidates graduating in 2028 who are required by their degree to complete a long-term internship. Candidates can apply for only one programme (e.g., Placement Programme or Summer Internship Programme) and up to two functions within that programme. They must use the same application for both opportunities.
After submitting an application, candidates will receive an email to complete a pre-interview assessment, which must be completed within five days. Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis.
This placement offers valuable experience within the asset management industry at a leading global firm. Successful participants may be considered for the Full-Time Analyst Programme upon completion.
