Overview & Placement
The Institutional Equity Division's Summer Analyst Program is a 10-week program that begins with one week of classroom training, followed by a minimum of three rotations across the division. Summer Analysts will pursue one of two Program Tracks: Institutional Equity or Institutional Equity Derivatives Trading and Structuring. While we encourage candidates to apply to the one track that best suits their interests and skillset, applications can be submitted for both tracks. Please note that this will count towards the three-program application maximum.

Please note, you should apply for the 2025 Institutional Equity Summer Analyst Program (New York) if you are interested in our Sales, Prime Brokerage or Sales-Trading roles within Equities.
All Summer Analysts will receive on-the-job training and be exposed to a wide variety of roles, products and services throughout IED, working alongside experienced professionals in a fast-paced, client-facing, and market-driven environment. Summer Analysts will have the opportunity to broaden and strengthen their respective skillsets, collaborating with individuals across IED on meaningful projects and initiatives. In addition, the Program features a Senior Management Speaker Series, desk teach-ins, cross-divisional networking events, community service events, performance reviews, and a robust mentorship program.
Certain roles within the Institutional Equity Division require a more technical skillset.
