Debt Capital Markets Summer Intern Review

I am a Debt Capital Markets intern, and having completed 1 week training at the beginning of the internship, I have rotated around 2 desks - Loan and Bond Origination. I spent 5 weeks on the Bonds side and 4 weeks on the Loans side. I have also had the opportunity to work with the EM desk, Syndication, and Liability Management desk. Typically, I am helping out with pitches and updating pricings for the Bonds side.

I was given a lot of responsibility early on in my internship and have had a significant amount of exposure to deals. I was able to join both internal and external meetings with important stakeholders, and sit in and learn about the bond issuance process. I think that the exposure that I have had at MUFG really makes the programme unique in comparison to other places.

I have learnt many new skills, whilst also developing my existing skills. I have improved with excel and powerpoint, and learnt how to use the various Bloomberg functions. As well as this, I have significantly developed my communication skills and time management. The internship has allowed me to learn such a large amount of new things in a very short period of time, which I have really enjoyed.

I have received a good amount of support and guidance throughout my internship. I was assigned a buddy for each of my rotations, who were really helpful and supportive. As well as this, everyone I contacted was very open to meeting and grabbing a coffee, regardless of their position. My line managers also have been very supportive, giving me regular feedback and guiding me throughout.

The culture at MUFG is very welcoming and friendly, I think that the people really create a warm and supportive environment. Everyone I have met has been friendly, honest, and have given me excellent advice. One of the main things I have really enjoyed about my internship has been the people that I have worked with and met, and the general working atmosphere

I have really loved my internship at MUFG, coming from a nonFinance background with little experience in the corporate world, MUFG has been very supportive and helped me with my development. I have learnt a significant amount in a very short period of time through the exposure that I have had and the help and time that the other employees have given to me. The atmosphere is really great and would highly recommend this experience.
