Wealth and Investment Management Intern

June - August 2019 • Century City, CA

What I liked

The program has a strict curriculum they want you to learn, but anything outside of that, depending on your branch, they give good flexibility to give you experience in an area you are interested in. For me, I was taught how to utilize asset allocation and efficient frontiers in the context of portfolio building and management.

Financial Analyst Intern

June - August 2018 • Atlanta, GA

What I liked

I got a lot of field experience and got to work with numerous investment groups and learn their techniques and practices.

What I wish was different

I wish there was less interaction with the other interns nationally and that we got to work even more in the branch.

Advice

Absorb as much info as possible.

Wealth and Investment Management Intern

June - August 2018 • Houston, TX

What I liked

Everyone was invested in the interns learning experience. Everyone, even the head of Financial Advisors for WFA, spoke with the interns and genuinely wanted to network with us.

What I wish was different

It was their first time having interns in my branch, so at times we had to find our own things to do or do our own research (which is almost a given in any internship).

Advice

Be a sponge, everyone in every position has had experiences you have not. No matter what level of the organization, they can teach you something valuable.
