Your Opportunity as a Summer Analyst in Investment Banking

An overview of this program’s objectives and how you can benefit

The ten-week Investment Banking Summer Analyst Program provides an opportunity to experience the culture and atmosphere of Morgan Stanley by taking on the responsibilities and functions of full-time Analysts.

From initial public offerings to mergers and acquisitions, Analysts are exposed to the different components of the investment banking business. Analysts see firsthand how GCM functions and also learn hands-on how to model a complex financial scenario. Analysts develop a comprehensive skill set including financial modeling, valuation techniques and strategic planning.

After a week of intensive training you would spend the summer within a specific group, building a strong foundation in the basic skills of financial analysis, accounting and valuation, and working on a wide range of transactions. You would receive continuing on-the-job training throughout the summer and benefit from working alongside experienced professionals on meaningful projects.
