Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.

Assisting the Natural Resources and Clean Energy Transition team on live deals, pitches, updating investor portfolios and comps, through the use of Excel, PowerPoint, FactSet and MergerMarket.

Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?

I was given a significant amount of responsibility as sometimes the Associates or Analysts would ask me to do something myself and I would have to figure it out. They could easily do it themselves in 10 minutes, but are happy to give it to me even if it will take me 3 hours, to ensure that I learn. I can also sit in client calls where I am the youngest person there.

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills, or developed your existing skills?

I have developed my Excel skills through learning shortcuts and new formulas and creating a variety of charts. I have also developed my PowerPoint skills by understanding how to better format presentations. I am also learning financial modelling skills, such as how to do comps, how to do a football field, and how to do a DCF.

Support and Guidance

How much support and guidance did you receive during your placement / internship?

I received a lot of support as the team were happy to walk me through a task to ensure I understood everything before I was instructed to do it myself. The training sessions were also super helpful and we also had our own sector training as well throughout the duration of the internship with homework to submit, which is really helpful in doing the final project.
