Redburn Execution Services Summer Internship 2027 - London

This is the 2027 summer internship in Execution Services at Rothschild & Co Redburn in London: a 10-week programme starting June 2027 for students in their second or penultimate year. There is no fixed closing date: the firm recruits on a rolling basis, accepting applications and interviewing continuously once applications open, and tells candidates to apply early. Source

'Redburn' is Rothschild & Co Redburn, the group's equities business in Research, Execution and Equity Capital Markets. Redburn and Atlantic Equities were both formed in 2003, Redburn on European and Atlantic on US equities, and merged under Rothschild & Co ownership in 2023; the advert says it uniquely seats US and European research together in London. 'Execution Services' is the part that transacts clients' business: the advert describes sales traders who give clients market insight and news flow and promote the firm's product to each client's requirements, working alongside the rest of the execution team, and an algorithmic team that serves specific client needs through technology.

This is the trading-floor seat at a research house. Redburn does agency execution, meaning it trades for institutional clients rather than with its own capital, so a summer here is about sales trading and electronic execution, not proprietary risk. Of the three Redburn summers advertised (Research, Sales, Execution Services), this is the one for someone who wants markets and speed rather than writing notes.

No specific desk is named: the advert covers Execution as a whole, which it says encompasses several roles with their own disciplines, and you join your allocated team after training.

What the advert says about the work: sales traders provide market insight, news flow and the firm's product tailored to individual clients, and work on behalf of clients with the rest of the execution team; the algorithmic team services specific client requirements through technology. Across all its internships the firm wants a genuine interest in financial markets, high levels of communication, accuracy and attention to detail, and relationship-building and teamwork skills. You are given meaningful responsibility as soon as you join the desk. Source

74 people have held London roles at Rothschild & Co's Global Advisory since 2018, against 82 in the group's M&A in the same data. Redburn is not broken out separately, so we cannot size the execution team or say where its juniors go; the numbers tell you only that the group's London footprint is its advisory bank, and that this seat sits in a different, smaller business.

Rothschild & Co Redburn says its purpose is to help clients generate superior investment performance, built on intellectual freedom, commercial research, best execution and premium client service, and that its partnership ethos and long-term client relationships continue in keeping with its parent's historic culture. It provides institutional investors with equity research, quantitative and technical analysis, economics research and agency execution in European and North American equities, serves corporates through an Equity Capital Markets division, and links investors to experts and corporates through Rothschild & Co Redburn Access.

321 people have held London roles at Rothschild & Co as a whole since 2018.

The programme starts with intensive classroom training in accounting, valuation and modelling plus internally led presentations, then you join your allocated team, with networking events and learning sessions through the summer. Two lines matter most: Rothschild & Co Redburn currently offers graduate positions only to people who have completed a summer internship with it, and while it tries to match you to a requested team it may place you in an alternative team it considers a better fit.

'Graduate positions only through the summer internship' makes this the front door, not a taster: if you want to work at Redburn after university, this summer is the route. A 2027 summer posted in August 2026 is the annual cycle.

Rolling recruitment with continuous interviews and no closing date means the seats go to whoever applies first and well. Apply in September. The listing's technical expiry date on the advert is a placeholder years away and should not be read as a deadline.

Aimed at students in their second or penultimate year of university, on track for a minimum 2:1 or equivalent, with a genuine interest in finance and good commercial awareness. The competencies listed are communication (written and spoken), teamwork alongside the ability to work independently, strong quantitative and analytical skills with comfort writing prose, drive and a self-starting attitude, creativity and independent thinking, and resilience with perspective and humour.

'Second or penultimate year' is broader than most banks: a second-year on a four-year course qualifies, and so does a penultimate-year student on any course. Final-year students are not named, so assume they are not the target.
