Do you feel passionate about becoming an investor and making a real difference to our clients’ futures?

We’ve been helping clients plan and invest for their futures for over 50 years. From more than 25 locations around the world, we provide investment services and retirement expertise to everyone from central banks to private individuals.

We’re known for acting with integrity and thinking for the long-term. And across our organisation, we foster a welcoming, caring and inclusive culture where people feel respected, trusted and able to be themselves.

Our Summer Internship Programme offers you unrivalled access to information, experts, and industry leaders. Research Analysts at Fidelity meet with company management, speak to their customers, competitors, suppliers, and industry experts to fully understand their chances of success or failure, and to forecast how their share price is likely to evolve over the coming years.

Over the course of you ten weeks with us, you will learn how our team of analysts formulate investment theses to advise portfolio managers.

When investment decisions relate to stocks then it's our Equities team making them. How do they choose the best stocks to invest in?

The Equities investment department has responsibility for all retail and institutional funds managed by Fidelity International. This responsibility includes managing equity portfolios in accordance with the stated investment objectives contained in the fund’s prospectus, trust document or Investment Management Agreement (IMA). The research department provide analysis on companies, stocks and sectors, working closely with fund managers to select stocks for their portfolios.

Over the course of your 10-week programme, you’ll research individual stocks and present your findings to a panel of senior investors. You'll be given a set of progressively more controversial stocks of your own to research, you'll be mentored by a director of research, learn from portfolio managers, and have the freedom to express your ideas and judgement on whether the stocks you are analysing should be bought or sold.
