Private Equity Summer Analyst
The program will begin June 2022. Summer analysts will work closely with junior and senior members of the 7-person private investments team on a variety of projects. Like many endowments, TIFF employs external managers to manage the majority of TIFF’s capital in addition to direct investing alongside managers. This internship position will likely include manager sourcing and due diligence, portfolio monitoring work, and Excel modeling. Summer analysts will have the opportunity to work on a broad range of managers and strategies, including venture capital, real estate, buyouts, resources, and direct investing. A meaningful part of the internship will be dedicated to an independent investment research project that will be presented to the investment team at the end of the summer. Past projects have included work on ESG, Blockchain, Litigation Finance, and Mining. The summer analyst program offers a unique opportunity to learn more about the asset management industry, specifically within private equity.
