With a record of investment excellence stretching back over more than 80 years, M&G, the UK and European investment arm of the Prudential group, is one of the UK’s leading and most respected fund management groups.
Investment Internship
We are looking for candidates with a curious and driven approach to their work and an ability to think both analytically and critically about problems. You will show a genuine interest in understanding how investments are made and be comfortable working with numbers. It is important that our investment interns are self-motivated and able to build and maintain relationships and work effectively as part of a team. You will also be able to demonstrate that you have independent thought and your own opinions on topics, as well as excellent written and verbal communication skills.
We are looking for candidates from a diverse range of backgrounds and actively recruit from all degree disciplines. It is not necessary to have studied a finance related degree or have relevant work experience, but an interest in financial services is important.
You will be in your penultimate year of study, be predicted a minimum 2:1 undergraduate degree from any discipline and have 300 UCAS points or equivalent.
The Investment Internship will last 8 weeks in one of our investment teams. You will be placed in a team that suits the skill set identified during the recruitment process, with some consideration to your specific interests. Whilst on the scheme, you will be exposed to a number of investment areas outside of your immediate team, through training and networking opportunities, in order to provide a broad understanding of our overall investment activities. Throughout the scheme you will be assessed with a view to making 2018 Investment Graduate Scheme offers upon completion.
You will be placed in a team one of the following areas:
- Fixed Income
- Equities
- Macro Investment Business (Multi Asset)
- Prudential Portfolio Management Group
- Prudential Capital
You will be involved in a variety of tasks focussed on investment analysis. You will benefit from participating in work where you can make a genuine contribution to the team with an opportunity to convey your own views and ideas. The nature of the work will vary dependent on the business area and team that you are placed.
Work that previous interns have been involved in includes:
- Performing credit, company and market analysis
- Modelling credit ratings
- Sourcing sector and stock specific ideas for funds
- Writing research and presenting the findings
- Providing transactional support to senior team members
- Developing investment analysis
You will take part in a training programme which includes insights sessions on asset management and the M&G business units. These are designed to be suitable for those without industry knowledge, and will provide an understanding of the whole spectrum of business areas within M&G. You will also attend business info sessions relating specifically to the investment teams at M&G, these informal small group sessions give you the opportunity to discuss teams and roles in more depth.
Interns are also invited to networking and social events, and provided with a buddy from our graduate cohort who will act as an informal support contact.
