Responsibilities

The internship is an excellent opportunity to work alongside experienced investment bankers in a stimulating environment on various valuation and transaction assignments for clients in various industries.

You will have the opportunity to gain valuable on-the-job training throughout your internship, with similar levels of exposure as a first-year analyst. You will work closely with and receive direct feedback and mentorship from senior professionals. As part of lean project teams, you will assist in providing valuations of illiquid debt and equity securities to credit funds, hedge funds, private equity firms, financial institutions, corporations, other investment managers and investors. You will also assist in updating financial models, drafting client deliverables, conducting market research, and presenting analyses and conclusions to the internal team.

Successful completion of the internship can potentially lead to an immediate full-time analyst position. Upon conversion to a first-year analyst, time spent during the internship will be considered for both promotion and incentive compensation.
