Internships and new graduates

Please see below for further information about our internship program and the application process.

We accept two or three interns each year for a six-eight week summer internship program for university students considering a career in currency management.

Internships tend to be focused in our Research Department, with students favouring either a quantitative or fundamental internship based on their studies and interests. Additionally we offer an internship in our Client Team and in the past we have also had places with our Compliance and Risk Team.

Our internship program provides general training about currency management and the opportunity to focus on one or two dedicated projects within your internship. During your time at Record you will become a valuable member of the department in which you are working. You will have a personal mentor who will assist you with the projects that you work on. These projects will be intellectually challenging and you will have responsibility for projects that will contribute to ongoing work within your department. At the end of your internship you will have the opportunity to present your findings to our Executive Committee.

The closing date for applications has now passed for our 2012 internship scheme and we are no longer accepting applciations.  

Testimonials

Diana Ples on her internship at Record in 2009: "The Record internship scheme is unique because it offers the opportunity to learn from the most senior people in the business on a daily basis. The work was engaging and the atmosphere in the company is friendly"

Sebastian Farquhar on his internship at Record in 2010: "I interned at Record during the summer of my second year as a Physics and Philosophy student at Oxford. I applied in the wake of the round of presentations Record holds at Balliol every year. I prepared for the interview by researching the company, working out what it did and how it did it. The company website is very useful for that, and talking to previous interns helped too. The interviews were lighthearted and enjoyable; we talked about the financial crisis, about my own experiences, and about automated trading strategies.

I was placed in Quantitative Research and my day to day tasks at the company were relatively varied. I worked on several projects during my internship. One of them was to produce a statistical analysis of historical currency prices to evaluate the extent to which they followed a random walk and discover the ways in which they did not. This meant interpreting the data to put together a presentation which I gave to the Executive committee. It attempted to condense the hundreds of results I got into an overarching message and an indication of how it might shape the trading algorithms the company will use in the future

The team is very friendly and supportive, and is always ready to have a chat about things both currency and non-currency related! One unique thing about Record is that they don't forget about you just because you aren't in their office anymore. Many of the interns keep working for Record on a consulting basis at University, and if you work hard, they work hard to bring you back"
