A Day in the Life of an Intern at BNY Mellon
Category: Gender (Equality & Identity), Training & Development
Hello. I’m Lara and I'm working as a sophomore intern in London with the Newton Investment Management multi asset team.
I chose this internship as it gave me the opportunity to gain experience in a line of business that I am interested in and because after prior experience with BNY Mellon, I noticed that it is a firm that takes diversity and inclusion seriously. For example, BNY Mellon is especially supportive in encouraging more women to work in the industry.
A typical day as an intern would start as follows: getting a morning coffee and keeping up to date with my emails and financial industry news, followed by attending the morning meeting and hearing updates from the whole investment team. Then I work on my various projects and speak with people on my team and afternoon meetings. Finally, I hit the gym at the end of the day. Of course, I also attend an occasional E/BRG event or social event if time allows.
The projects given to me have been great as they have allowed me to understand all the aspects of investment management, from the stock selection side to the commercial side. I have particularly enjoyed advancing my fundamental analysis and learning new skills such as R to create more sophisticated models. It’s also interesting to learn how each person on the investment team would approach a task (such as a company analysis) uniquely.
We have also received training on different subjects such as credit analysis, Bloomberg and leadership that have been useful and will certainly be applicable in the future. It does feel like the company is investing in us.
Overall, I would say that this is a great place to work. Although I have had a variety of internships in the past, working in Investment Management at BNY Mellon has shown me that a career in investing is what I want. I think that’s a good thing to get out of a work experience. I can’t fault the support network either- everyone is always willing to share their time and expertise.
