The Opportunity
If you enjoy applying your quantitative and ML skills to real-world problems, coding production-quality analysis and tools, and working in a fast-paced environment with immediate and tangible feedback, our Summer Internship Program is ideal for you.
At Brevan Howard, we build systematic and discretionary investment processes that rely on rigorous analysis of a vast universe of data, such as asset prices, macroeconomic indicators, news, sell-side research, and trading signals.
Transforming this data into actionable insights is central to how we win, and we’re looking to find the next generation of portfolio managers and quants through our internship program—people who are eager to push the frontier of research and engineering in global macro investing.
Overview & Responsibilities
You will work directly with our front-office personnel to provide immediate impact on a range of projects:
Build pipelines to extract and analyze data, develop models and trading signals, and support decision-making of Portfolio Managers.
Integrate AI into analytical systems as well as building new AI-powered tools using the latest LLMs and agent workflows.
Contribute to our core analytics library, which is leveraged by Quants and PMs across the firm for research, trading and risk management.
Our Internship Program 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, and the latest AI tools and LLMs.
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.
This internship is devised to provide candidates with an invaluable education on the workings of a multi-strategy 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 2028 Graduate Program.
Qualifications & Requirements
A penultimate year undergraduate/junior or 1st year master's or PhD student at a recognized University — completed and awarded before July 2028.
Strong mathematical, quantitative, problem-solving capabilities, and technical skills (Excel, VBA, R, AI and ML techniques).
An interest and passion for financial markets, trading, and financial products.
The ability to work independently and collaboratively as part of a team.
An entrepreneurial spirit.
Strong written and verbal communication skills in English.
Why take this opportunity
This is a unique opportunity to gain insight into one of the world’s leading firms operating at the forefront of macro trading. At Brevan Howard, we believe the future of investing lies at the intersection of deep domain expertise and cutting-edge technology. As our industry is being reshaped by AI and automation, you’ll see first-hand how LLMs, retrieval, and agent-like systems are being used in the front-office environment at one of the world’s premier macro hedge funds – where correctness, robustness and speed matter.
Top-performing interns are considered for our Graduate Program the following year and longer-term paths include roles as analyst, quant, and portfolio manager.
