Sustainable Investing Summer Intern

Our investment process takes
environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) issues into account when, in our
view, these have a material impact on either investment risk or return.  We gain an understanding of the relevant ESG
issues applicable to our investments through our internal research process and
in collaboration with a highly technical in-house Sustainable Investing team to
identify those issues which may potentially threaten the value of our
investments.

The Sustainable Investing team is
organised into two complementary pillars – Stewardship & Research and
Strategy, Product & Governance – which work together to support the
integration and implementation of sustainability considerations across our
investment activities and client offering.

The Stewardship & Research pillar focuses on
generating sustainability research and insights to support investment
decision-making, and using stewardship to influence companies and wider market
practices. Its work spans sector and thematic research, ESG and governance
analysis, company and policy engagement, and proxy voting, helping identify
material sustainability risks and opportunities and support long-term value
creation.

The Strategy, Product & Governance pillar
focuses
on building and maintaining the sustainability data, tools and investment
frameworks that underpin our sustainable investing capabilities, and
translating them into products and client solutions. Its work spans
sustainability datasets and methodologies, product design and implementation,
tailored client solutions, regulatory requirements and ongoing product
oversight, helping embed these capabilities consistently across our investment
offering.

What you’ll be doing:

On our 10-week programme, you will gain experience across the two core
pillars of our Sustainable Investing team. You will typically work on a
substantive project within each area, alongside shorter-term team priorities.
Your work may include researching sustainability themes and companies,
supporting engagement and voting-related analysis, analysing sustainability
data, and contributing to the development of sustainable investment products,
tools, frameworks and reporting. You will work with colleagues across
Sustainability and the wider investment business, using research and data to
develop insights, solve practical problems and communicate your findings
clearly.

The
difference you’ll make:

You’ll
contribute to positive, meaningful work that make a difference to our clients.
You’ll help them invest and plan for the futures they want. You’ll provide
invaluable support to your team, too.

How you’ll be supported:

You’ll start with a welcome and an orientation,
where you’ll meet your fellow interns and find out all about us and our work.
Once the programme begins, you’ll learn every day – from the experts around you
and through tackling real projects. Our focus will be on supporting you to gain
experience and discover what kind of future you could build in our industry.

Support is part of our culture, so you’ll have a
buddy and a mentor to help you whenever you need. And you’ll join a close-knit
early careers community, with plenty of social and networking events to help
you find your feet and feel at home.

What we’re looking for:

It’s who you are that matters here, rather than what
you studied.

We look for interns who are analytical, eager to
learn and ready to take on a challenge. A genuine curiosity and eagerness to
learn about investment is vital, as is a lively interest in our work and our
industry. Creative thinking and attention to detail are important too.

And, as we’re an international organisation, we’ll
need you to speak English.

We’ll also need you to:

be graduating from your current academic programme

Our clients come from all walks of life and so do we. We are proud of our
inclusive culture and encourage applications from the widest mix of talent,
whatever your age, gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender identity,
social background and more.
