Overview & Responsibilities

Our ten-week summer Internship Programme seeks to hire ambitious, enthusiastic candidates who have strong mathematical, quantitative backgrounds and coding skills, with demonstrated passion for markets and an interest to work on all facets of Portfolio Management. Interns will be working with our macro team.

Our Internship Programme starts with one week in-depth training to prepare interns for the desk. This covers a range of topics relating to Financial Markets including Macroeconomics, FX, Interest Rate Derivatives, Equity, Rates, Trading strategies, Risk Management, Excel and Python.

Additionally, interns will benefit from key talks, a mentor program, social events and interactions with some of the most respected and talented individuals in their field.

During the program, working in a fast-paced environment, Interns will contribute to their Portfolio Management teams on various projects that can include trading strategies, trading signals, back testing, developing market related models, and develop research for trade ideas.

This internship is devised to provide candidates with an invaluable education on the workings of a macro hedge fund and the regulatory environment through a two-way process to determine if Brevan Howard and the intern are a compatible fit.

The goal of our summer internship program is to convert top performing interns to our 2026 Graduate Programme!
