Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
Building my understanding of the fund through attending client presentations and conducting my own research using Bloomberg. Then applying this knowledge to answering client questions and updating key documents for the fund. At the end of my internship I then presented back to the team on what I learnt about the fund and the business area.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
Yes, I was given a lot of responsibility during the internship which allowed me to experience the different aspects of the role I was in. It was especially rewarding seeing my ideas be implemented into the final product being delivered to clients.

What advice would you give to others applying to M&G plc
Use the opportunity of being an intern to meet loads of people and ask any questions. You aren't expected to come in with previous financial knowledge/experience so use it as a way to learn as much as possible.
