2027 UK Arrowpoint Advisory Summer Analyst Programme - London

This is Arrowpoint Advisory's summer analyst programme: ten weeks in London starting June 2027, aimed at students in their penultimate year of university, with applications opening on 19 August 2026 and recruitment on a rolling basis with no closing date. Arrowpoint Advisory is described as the dedicated mid-market M&A and debt advisory business of Rothschild & Co, advising private equity, owner-managed and corporate clients on transactions from 20 million to 200 million pounds.

The posting says you would work exclusively with the Arrowpoint Advisory team, after receiving initial training as part of the wider Rothschild & Co internship programme, and would then join them at their dedicated offices close to Covent Garden. The stated responsibilities are the preparation of meeting and pitch materials, target and buyer analysis and process documentation, with the firm teaching the technical methods common to its work: multiples analysis, discounted cash flow, LBO and working capital methodologies.

'UK Arrowpoint Advisory' is the token that matters, and it is not the main Rothschild & Co summer analyst programme. This is the mid-market arm, with its own brand, its own office and its own application. A deal range of 20 to 200 million pounds means smaller processes and more of them, which for an intern is usually a better summer: you see a whole sale process rather than one workstream on a mega-cap. It also means the clients are owner-managers and mid-market sponsors, so the pitch is as much about the seller's family or fund as about the numbers.

The firm says what makes working with Arrowpoint Advisory different is the level of direct process experience, because it works in small, senior-heavy teams and maintains a strong flow of transactions across a range of sectors, with a culture that reflects both Rothschild & Co's relationship focus and rigorous independence and the practical advice its market needs.

74 people have held London roles in Rothschild & Co's Global Advisory division since 2018, which is the division the record file this seat under. Arrowpoint sits inside it as a separately branded mid-market practice, so the alumni you find under the Rothschild name will mostly have worked on larger deals than the ones you would see here.

'Small, senior-heavy teams' plus 'you will be working exclusively with the Arrowpoint Advisory team' at a separate office near Covent Garden has a practical consequence: you get the group training week with the wider Rothschild intern class and then leave it. The people who see your work every day, and who decide on a return offer, are the mid-market team, so treat the Arrowpoint bankers as the audience from day one rather than the main-house network.

The posting describes Rothschild & Co as consistently Europe's leading investment bank by transaction volume, and Arrowpoint Advisory as its dedicated mid-market M&A and debt advisory business. Source

321 people have held London roles at Rothschild & Co as a whole since 2018, which makes it one of the easier London firms to find someone to speak to before an interview.

Applications opened on 19 August 2026 and the firm states plainly that it recruits on a rolling basis, accepting applications and interviewing continuously, with no close date. By mid-September the window is already weeks old. Apply now; a rolling process with no deadline ends when the class is full, and for a programme this size that can be well before Christmas.

The page says that at the end of the internship you could be considered for a permanent role on the graduate programme for the following year. That is the real prize and it changes how you spend ten weeks: in a small senior-heavy team you are visible from the first morning, so the return offer is decided on reliability across the whole summer rather than on one modelling test.

The programme is aimed at students in their penultimate year of university, on track for a minimum of a 2:1 or equivalent, with a genuine interest in corporate finance and good commercial awareness, strong analytical and numerical skills, good MS Office skills, excellent communication and teamwork, attention to detail and the ability to handle multiple tasks. It is ten weeks starting June 2027 in London. Source

Penultimate year only, and no degree subject named. The page opens the door to one year group and no other, so on a four-year course you are aiming at your third year, not your second, and it is worth checking which of your years the university calls penultimate before you apply. The page also publishes no right-to-work condition, so if you would need sponsorship, ask before you spend the application rather than finding out at offer stage.
