2027 Point72 Academy Investment Analyst Summer Internship Program - Japan

The Point72 Academy Summer Internship — Japan

Are you a student interested in pursuing a career in investing? If you are graduating between December 2027 and July 2028, we invite you to apply for our 8-week summer internship, taking place from June to August 2027.

Launch your investing career in the Point72 Academy, an investment analyst training program that will provide you with the tools and knowledge to build a career in our ever-evolving industry. Since 2015, the Academy has graduated more than 230 analysts onto our platform as of November 2025; some are portfolio managers today.

The Point72 Academy Summer Internship is a combination of classroom instruction, portfolio casework, and mentorship. The program is designed to give you insights into finance, research, and the workings of the public markets and prepare you for a potential opportunity with the full-time Point72 Academy Associate Program.

During the internship, you will:

• Acquire fundamental knowledge and skills necessary to contribute as an analyst, alongside your peers.
• Receive training in accounting, modeling, presenting, and compliance.
• Collaborate with an investment team, gaining firsthand experience of the daily life of an equities analyst and exposure to one of the sectors covered by our Portfolio Managers.
• Work closely with Academy coaches, delving deeper into data analysis and preparing a final pitch on an investment idea.
• Collaborate with Compliance, Information Security and the Office of the Co-CIO to discover efficient ways to harness AI in your investment processes and workflows.

Who We’re Looking For:

• We welcome students from all academic disciplines. Your field of study or major is not a determining factor; we seek individuals who can effectively manage teamwork, exhibit integrity, possess intellectual curiosity, demonstrate leadership potential, and express a keen interest in the financial markets.
• Students should have a high enthusiasm for the financial services industry. Interest in analyzing companies and looking at stocks is recommended given the project-based nature of this program.
• Highly self‑motivated with a high risk appetite and the ability to make decisions in an ambiguous environment.
• Candidates with a high proficiency, written and verbal, in both Japanese and English.

We Want You to Apply if You Are:

• A current student who will graduate from university between December 2027 and July 2028.
• Fascinated by research and problem-solving, relentlessly curious, and constantly expanding your horizons.
• Committed to continued success in your academic and professional career with the highest levels of professionalism, integrity, and excellence.
• Commitment to the highest ethical standards.
• Highly self-driven and motivated to explore a career in finance.

What to Expect:

• Your online application, essays, and resume will serve as an introduction to who you are as a candidate. Once you complete the online application, we will begin reviewing your profile.
• Selected candidates will then receive an email invitation to participate in a case study, allowing you to showcase your experiences and demonstrate your business acumen.
• Following submission and review of your case study, shortlisted candidates will be invited to complete an online assessment and participate in virtual one‑on‑one interviews with various members of the Academy team. Shortlisted candidates will then be invited to attend a half‑day assessment center. There are two application deadlines: one in mid‑May for candidates interested in an early summer assessment center, and another for students applying over the summer to mid Fall, which will lead to a late fall assessment center. We strongly encourage candidates to apply and complete all requirements as soon as they feel ready to begin the hiring process.

Please note, you may only submit one application to the Academy internship program globally, so only apply to the region you are most interested in.

Don't miss this opportunity to kickstart your career in the world of investing with the Point72 Academy.

Please note that any use of GenAI is strictly prohibited when completing this application.
