The field

What the work is.

A finance placement puts you in a junior seat on a live deal or a live portfolio, with the person who owns it reviewing your work.

We place students in investment banking, private equity and venture capital, asset and wealth management, and corporate finance inside operating companies. Every seat is arranged after a call about what you can model and what you want to learn.

The teams are small on purpose. You build the model, sit in on the diligence, mark up the memo, and watch the deal close or fall through. You leave with a reference from the person who signed it.

You won't process paperwork for a quarter. The placement is built around one transaction or one position, sized so you can deliver it in the time you have.


Who we place

What a deal team asks of you.

i.
Working fluency in the model. DCFs, LBOs, three-statement work, without the shortcuts a screen-share hides. You can read someone else's model before you change it.
ii.
A finished piece of analysis. A stock pitch, a deal write-up, a fund essay, a previous internship. Something you took from research to a conclusion.
iii.
A read for risk. You spot what could go wrong in a deck before anyone asks, and you say so.
iv.
A reason to be in Asia. Some curiosity about where the region's capital is moving, beyond the line on your CV.
A note on fit

A finance degree helps but isn't required. Mathematicians, lawyers and engineers do fine here if their thinking holds up when a partner pushes on it.

We find that out on a call. We don't ask for a transcript or a GPA.


The work

The kinds of work.

Every seat is arranged after the call. These are the shapes the work usually takes, not open positions.


Where

By city.

Hong Kong

HK · 香港

Hong Kong is the deal city: investment banks, IPO desks, hedge funds. The best fit if you want to be on a transaction.

Shanghai

SH · 上海

Shanghai is China's onshore market: domestic asset managers, RMB funds, and the finance teams of companies that list in Hong Kong or New York.

Singapore

SG · 新加坡

Singapore is where private wealth is managed. Family offices, asset managers and the regional offices of funds. An intern can sit close to a principal here.

Bangkok

BKK · กรุงเทพฯ

Bangkok has boutique advisory firms, regional private equity and the in-house finance arms of family conglomerates. Smaller teams, wider view.
