About the Internship Programme

The opportunity to join us as an intern is one that is unique, challenging and rewarding.

We are currently looking for world-class talent to join our summer internship programme running from 12th June - August 2023 in our Edinburgh office within our Investments Vector.

We offer investment expertise across all key asset classes, regions and markets so that our clients can capture investment potential wherever it arises.

By ensuring the assets we invest in are ready for and resilient to a world in transition, we act as guardians of our clients' assets.

The combination of our research, thematic thinking, ESG best practice and extensive on-the-ground analysis helps us find the most sustainable future-fit investment opportunities globally.

From day one, you'll contribute to our ambitions whilst developing your skills and knowledge.

Over the 10 week summer placement you will be given real work with tangible outputs within the Investments Vector, allowing you to gain exposure to real investment and business situations, with real responsibility.

Regardless of which team you join within the Investments Vector you will gain a depth of experience; getting the opportunity to work with seasoned professionals across our business and engage in development activities with your peers on the internship programme.
