Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
As a Valuations Summer Intern, my role involved supporting the valuation team in assessing the financial worth of assets, companies, and investment portfolios. This required a blend of analytical skills, financial modeling, and market research to assist in delivering accurate and insightful valuation reports.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
We supported on real projects however, to a very limited extent but I believe this is reasonable given the short length of the internship. So not given much responsibility but I would not have expected too.

Support and Guidance

How much support and guidance did you receive during your placement / internship?
We were given training to learn the methods of valuation however, these did sometimes feel a bit unprepared, and maybe could have been ordered slightly better but the training themselves were very good.
