Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
Intern Analyst in the Credit Risk department. Fell under the Country and Portfolio Team and the ESG Risk Team. From the CAP perspective, I conducted a lot of sovereign research on specific regions (Bloomberg, Moody's, S&P) and interpreted these findings in terms of long-term risk and exposure for Nomura. Similar research projects were involved for the ESG team. Modelling scorecards, country heatmaps using available data.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
Yes, absolutely. I tried to make my mark from the start and the team was extremely receptive to my ideas.
