Morgan Stanley's ten-week Sales & Trading Summer Analyst classes are treated as a top priority because we know they will produce the future Full Time Analyst classes. Summer Analysts have the opportunity to develop and master the analytical, quantitative, and interpersonal skills they will need for consideration for our full time opportunities. The division's flat organizational structure and open trading floor allow Summer Analysts opportunities to collaborate with successful industry professionals in a fast paced and intense environment, requiring an aptitude for analyzing and interpreting often complex information in a timely manner.

The Fixed Income Division offers a wide range of products and services to clients situated all across the globe. The division's sales and trading teams for commodities, credit, and interest rate and currency products are organized by geographical regions, allowing each Summer Analyst to develop a sound understanding of a wide scope of products. The Summer Analyst Program within Fixed Income provides participants with an opportunity to rotate across two desks. Within each desk, Summer Analysts will be assigned a product area where you will work closely with traders, salespeople, and research and capital markets professionals.
