Why intern in Business Operations?

This is a great opportunity for a hands-on internship at a growing investment management company with affiliate and 3rd party assets under management.  This internship will provide you with direct exposure to various teams within Business Operations and opportunity to be exposed to various sectors, portfolio management, trading and IT which are comprised outside of Business Operations through cross-functional collaboration, capstone project work and networking.  In addition, you will gain knowledge of various types of fixed income, equity, derivative and alternative assets with varying degrees of complexity.

About the internship

This is a 10-week experience, designed to fully immerse interns in the buy-side investment management industry by working alongside one of HIMCO’s Business Operations teams. Team assignments can include positions within performance measurement and attribution, investment reporting, trade operations, data integrity, reconciliation & controls, and valuations.  Interns are offered extensive development opportunities through a mentoring program, a mock-trading competition, an executive speaker series, volunteering, and social events.  Intern contributions during his/her internship will culminate in a capstone project presentation to provide an opportunity for exposure to HIMCO senior leaders. Successful summer interns may be invited back for a full time Business Operations position.
