Who you are

Youre curious, driven and comfortable turning numbers into insight. You enjoy working in a fast-paced environment where detail matters and learning never really stops. You could be a great fit if you analyse carefully, collaborate confidently and pick up new information quickly. You stay motivated, keep goals in sight and remain positive when priorities shift. Youre interested in how investment decisions are made and want to build both technical and professional skills through real work. If youre ready to learn by doing and contribute as part of a team, this could be a strong fit.

What you'll do

Youll work with investment teams on research, portfolio activity and analysis that supports decision-making. You could help explore investment opportunities, market trends and industry insights, build your analysis and coding skills, and learn how portfolio construction and management work in practice. You may also build your understanding of asset classes, HSBC products and hedge funds, while working with colleagues across the team to deliver against client needs and business priorities. Its a practical role where youll manage your own workload, contribute ideas and build confidence working with people at different levels. The internship also includes structured assessments aligned to securing a graduate role, giving you chances to demonstrate how you think, collaborate and deliver, through tasks such as project work, presentations, interviews or skills-based evaluations.

What you'll learn

Youll build your investment foundation through a week of structured training focused on both technical and behavioural skills, followed by continuous on-the-job learning. As the internship progresses, youll deepen your understanding of how investment decisions are made, how research supports outcomes, and how teams work in a fast-paced, detail-focused environment. Youll also strengthen your confidence in applying analytical thinking to real projects and understanding the role of research in shaping investment choices. The programme is designed to help you learn by doing, with support that keeps the learning practical and relevant. By the end, youll have a stronger understanding of investments and a clearer sense of how your skills fit in this space.

Where you'll work

Youll work in the investments side of International Wealth and Premier Banking, in a specialist environment focused on research, portfolio-related activity and market insight. Its a collaborative office culture where investment professionals work closely together and where ideas, analysis and perspectives are shared across the team. Youll be part of a setting that values precision, curiosity and strong teamwork, with exposure to colleagues working across products, asset classes and investment themes.
