About The Position

The Summer Internship Program at Brevan Howard offers an ideal opportunity for individuals who enjoy applying 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. Brevan Howard builds 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 they win, and they are looking to find the next generation of portfolio managers and quants through this program – people who are eager to push the frontier of research and engineering in global macro investing. The internship is designed to provide candidates with an invaluable education on the workings of a macro 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 is to convert top-performing interns to their 2028 Graduate Program.
