The Role
You can be part of a leading, client-committed, global Asset Manager, making an impact on individuals, communities, and the world.  
Today, markets still face a whole new set of pressures – but also a whole lot of opportunity too. Opportunity to innovate differently. Opportunity to invest responsibly. And opportunity to make change. This is needed more than ever as we currently experience high interest rates, a once-in-a-lifetime health crisis, a shift in global demographics – and politics – as well as advances in digitalization and economies moving towards a more sustainable future.  
  
While there is always uncertainty in markets, one thing remains clear: there is always a new situation that requires the right investment answers. We call it the new now.

This internship is an ideal way to determine whether a career in Financial Services & Asset Management meets your personal aspirations.
