    Overview

  • 1. Please give an overview of the virtual internship and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
  • Each day consisted of talks learning more about an aspect of the work Fidelity international does. The first day focused on equities, the second day focused on fixed income and the third day focused on mixed asset classes. After learning more about that area of the business we took part in research tasks that involved researching companies and providing a recommendation of the best investment. There was also opportunities to speak/ network with current employees at Fidelity as well as other students participating in the spring week.
