We pride ourselves in uncovering the best investment opportunities for our clients. The purpose of our asset management business is to help our clients invest for the future — whether it’s for retirement, to grow and preserve inter-generational wealth, or to benefit the organizations that make our world smarter, healthier and more sustainable.

Our Global Marketing team is critical to the growth of our business and is focused on driving revenue generating opportunities for the firm by: 1) increasing brand awareness and industry regard; 2) differentiating our investment solutions and services; and 3) establishing ourselves as a premier thought leader.

The team is comprised of the following groups:

  strategies to grow the business

Our hands on, 10-week internship is designed as a Summer Associate program for juniors and seniors interested in pursuing a career in financial marketing. In addition to role-specific training, interns also receive mentorship, engage in networking and volunteer opportunities, and benefit from employee resource groups such as LEAD, which is focused on the development of future leaders through training, internal mobility, and philanthropy. The summer internship concludes with a final capstone project in which interns present an innovative and strategic presentation to better position the business for the future.

Please note our program is for juniors and seniors, classes of 2024 and 2025 only.
