Spring Insight Event - Client & Product Functions - Product Strategy and Solutions - 2025

Our Spring Insight is a week-long event taking place in our London and Edinburgh offices in April 2025 for students of all academic backgrounds who will graduate with an undergraduate or master’s degree in 2027.

Spring Insight is an immersive experience into one of our business areas where you’ll participate in work shadowing, a group project, networking and social events. By the end of the week, you’ll be well on your way to being a true student of the markets. We think it’s important to have an open mind about where you begin your career so you’ll be able to apply to experience up to two functions.

Important: 

Candidates can apply for up to two functions within that programme (e.g., Investment Research and Analytics & Modeling). You must apply for both opportunities using the same programme application.

If you withdraw your application, you cannot submit another application for this programme this year.
