I have officially reached the halfway point of my summer internship at Capital Group. I am enjoying the experience and delighted to have developed a greater understanding of the lifecycle of the investment process and how each team is vital to the overall process.
I have been impressed at how genuinely friendly and welcoming everyone has been at Capital Group, one of CG’s core values is “Community: we approach all that we do with care, respect and thoughtful consideration for each other”, this has been evident in all my interactions.
Another core value I have witnessed in the way teams work is “Client focus, we are grounded in the responsibility to fulfil the needs of our clients around the world” This is demonstrated by the follow-the-sun model, the Singapore, London and LA offices, all working collaboratively to deliver outstanding results for our clients. One important piece of advice that I will cherish, is that to always have front of mind, that we are working for our clients, to enable them to achieve their financial goals through successful investing.
A few highlights of my internship so far would be:
1. The fantastic Capital community’s events, I attended a Lunch and Learn session educating us on the impactful work the charity Sense International does in supporting people with combined DeafBlindness to live, learn and thrive.
2. As a strong believer in giving back, I participated in a great volunteering event through, the “Capital Cares” program, for a Teach First event in which children from a local secondary school visited the office to learn more about Capital Group and the Investment Management industry. I particularly enjoyed the stock pitch the children came up with.
3. I am excited to deliver and present my assigned project. It’s been great conducting primary research in this area and gaining a deeper insight into the type of work an analyst conducts.
I’d like to thank everyone for making this a brilliant experience, in particular, my buddy Sasha Stepanec and managers Nick Donnelly and Tom Wigfall for their continuous support.
Thank you to Capital Group and The 10,000 Interns Foundation for providing this opportunity.
It has been an amazing experience so far and I look forward to the remainder of my internship!
