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 Venture Capital and deep-tech start-up companies. 

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, Digital Assets, Interest Rate Derivatives, Equity Rates, Bonds, Credit and Fixed Income, 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 researching cutting-edge technologies (e.g., fusion, quantum computing, AI, and space), due diligence on start-ups, mapping industry segments, financial analysis on deals, and identifying investment prospects.

This internship is devised to provide candidates with an invaluable education on the workings of an elite venture capital group, 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!
