The Role
The internship has been a great experince. There has been a good balance between work, learning and socialising.
The team have all made me feel very welcome, and all value the work I have produced for them.
My supervisor has given me projects to work on and goals to achieve. He has made time to chat with me to give updates on my work.
It varied from day to day depending on the teams work load.
Work that I had a signficant role in has been sent out to the various distribution channels within the firm - which has been highly rewarding as my name has featured on the documents produced.
Learning about the investment management industry will be highly beneficial to my studies next year.
The Company
Generally quiet, but this is good for the nature of the work being done.
From day one everything has been made very clear!
From the training courses during the first week, to the regular lunch and learn series the firm has really invested in all of the interns.

Very, I hope to be successful in gaining a place on the graduate scheme.
The Culture
Not many social events were organised between the interns.
Its London, so expensive.
Being in London, there are plenty of places to go out.
The firm ran a team charity day, were interns and grads took over a charity shop to raise money.
