Investment banking

You spend a summer on a bank's Coverage Banking team, helping the bankers who look after its corporate, financial institution and public sector clients. Coverage bankers own the relationship with a client. They find out what the client needs, whether that is a loan, help moving money across borders or advice on a deal, and bring in the specialists who deliver it. The programme is the Coverage Banking Internship Programme 2027. It runs for 10 weeks in the summer of 2027 and sits inside Corporate & Investment Banking, the part of the bank that serves companies, governments and financial institutions rather than individuals.

You are placed in one of the Coverage Banking teams. Corporate Coverage looks after multinational companies, large local companies and mid market clients. Financial Institutions Coverage looks after banks, insurers, asset managers and sovereign entities, which are bodies owned by a state. Mergers & Acquisitions advises clients that are buying, selling or merging businesses, and interns there see live transactions.
