‘I spent my summer 2022 at Polymer Capital Management, a hedge fund platform, as an investment intern.
The job is really fascinating and I love the work.
Other than learning hard skills, the internship experience connected me with some of the smartest portfolio managers and traders in the industry, who are really supportive to my career development and are willing to provide me with valuable advice, even after the internship.

‘In the summer of 2022, I interned as a Summer Analyst at Rhee Capital, a boutique asset management firm in Hong Kong.
Working at Rhee Capital was a formative learning experience for me.
Furthermore, sometimes, what is left unsaid by management is also important, and this too requires further due diligence.
In addition, I also learned a clever accounting trick by property developers: if they have excess inventory that they cannot offload, instead of selling at a loss and marking down their inventory values, they rent the inventory out, thereby preserving the accounting illusion.

Overall, I enjoyed my internship at Rhee Capital very much, and I would like to express my gratitude to the Chief Investment Officer for giving me the opportunity to intern here.’

‘I joined an 8-week summer internship program at China Minsheng Bank Hong Kong branch.
I took part in several meaningful projects and utilized the knowledge I learned from the university by working on real-life cases.
In addition, I was lucky to expand my professional network by working with many colleagues who have different backgrounds.
Lastly, GLEF is a well-structured program that offers me lots of resources and support.

‘During the summer of 2022, I had a 10-week summer internship working in the operations division at FWD Life Insurance.
In the 10 weeks that I was at FWD, I was able to partake in various tasks which allowed me to be actively involved section of operations at the firm regarding claims.
I am really appreciative of FWD for offering this internship opportunity as it was not only a valuable learning experience but also an enjoyable opportunity to meet new people and expand my network.’

‘Over the second half of 2021, I had the privilege to intern at a hedge fund in South Korea, which specializes in long/short equities, IPOs, private capital, and other strategies.
My role had three parts, first was to provide operational support to the equity research team, including fund performance, market updates and any ad-hoc duties.
The overall experience taught me the necessary soft and hard skills required to work as an investment analyst.
