The Investments Summer Internship Program places interns within one asset class (e.g., Equities, Fixed Income or Multi-Asset Solutions) while providing them with exposure across all investment businesses, including Responsible Investing. Through the Internship Program, interns will gain a greater appreciation of the overall investment process and different types of roles including fundamental and quantitative research, trading, portfolio management as well as data science and technology innovation.

Specific asset class placement and role will be determined through a combination of intern interest and skillset, company need and location specific opportunities. Summer Interns contribute to and learn from AB’s innovative use of technology, deep research capabilities, global presence and breadth of investment management expertise. The flat corporate structure allows Interns to become deeply integrated into the team and contribute meaningfully to investment decision-making early on in their careers.

At the end of the summer, interns will present on their projects and lessons learned to Investments senior management. Successful interns will be invited to join the Investments Rotational Associate Program upon their graduation.
