• A speaker series featuring firm leaders across investment and platform teams.
• A series of professional development, social events and volunteer opportunities with your intern class.

• Pursuing a Bachelor's degree, Master's degree, or PhD in finance, economics, applied mathematics, statistics, business, computer science, or a related field.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
• High level of intellectual curiosity, self-motivation, strong work ethic, and a keen attention to detail.
• Ability to be collaborative and work effectively in a team-oriented, fast-paced, and dynamic environment.
• Strong analytical, problem-solving and critical thinking abilities.
• Demonstrated interest in hedge funds/financial services.
