Asset Management Intern Review

Asset Management Intern - each intern is placed in a different team around the business. I was placed in the Investment Client Services Team - completing 4 different projects for them involving how AI can make their processes more efficient. When not completing these projects, I was shadowing workers, meeting other people around the business for coffee or learning on their university platform.

I was given responsibility during this internship with the 4 projects I was given - responsible for the collection of data, setting up calls with the relevant people providing me with information within the project, the presentation on my findings (and the way it was structured), and the end results of the projects. I also was given the opportunity to attend client meetings.

Yes, I have learned and developed a variety of different skills. I had to present infront of a panel twice, development my presentation and communication skills. I met with a large number of employees around the business for coffee chats and within my team, improving my communication skills and technical ability. I learnt excel skills with the training that M&G provide, and I developed my analytical skills on the 4 projects that I completed.

I received a huge amount of support and guidance during my internship. Not only from the team I was placed in, but also from the careers managers, and employees around the business, all of whom were extremely willing to provide advice and support in our individual projects and career goals.

The company culture is what has stood out for me the most during this internship. Everyone I met was extremely friendly and willing to provide support and advice.

I really enjoyed my internship - it provided me with a huge number of opportunities, responsibility, and skills for which I am extremely grateful. I've come away feeling more confident in my technical abilities, specifically the information I have learnt about the asset management industry and how to navigate the corporate world. I would be very proud to work for M&G.
