About the Program
Our 10-week Summer Internship Program pairs you with a platform team where you'll take on real, high-impact work, while getting a structured, firm-wide view of how a global multi-strategy hedge fund operates.

- Leverage AI tools to contribute meaningful work from day one.
- Compete in a trading simulation with the full intern class to build foundational markets knowledge.

Qualifications
- Pursuing a Bachelor's degree, Master's degree, or PhD in finance, economics, applied mathematics, statistics, business, computer science, or a related field.
