Weiss Asset Management (WAM) invites applications for our Summer 2027 Investment Analyst Internship in Boston. As a summer analyst at WAM, you will collaborate closely with our investment team, which invests globally in equities, derivatives, and fixed income through fundamental and quantitative strategies. With a primary emphasis on fundamental analysis, this internship offers a unique opportunity to gain exposure to a range of our investment strategies. The investment analysis track is suited for students who enjoy deep research and are passionate about understanding complex markets and solving difficult problems. High-performing interns are typically offered full-time positions upon graduation. The internship will run from June 7th, 2027 to August 13th, 2027 (10 weeks).
Why intern at WAM?
- Our goal is to be the best option among hedge funds for ambitious and talented students looking to begin an investment career. We hire interns who we think will improve our investment team in the long run and invest in developing them accordingly.
- In recent years, interns and junior analysts have been at the forefront of research and strategy development in both quantitative and fundamental strategies and have contributed to all stages of the investment process.
- Each intern works directly with mentors on the investment team who are consistently available to provide guidance and feedback.
- We have the flexibility to tailor projects for each intern to allow him or her to demonstrate current skills and to develop new ones. Our investment team operates as one team rather than in siloes, which maximizes learning opportunities for interns and analysts.
- We host a variety of events in and out of the office throughout the summer to allow interns to get to know senior investment staff, as well as the rest of the firm, at a personal level.
