The posting

Our Firm

American Century Investments® is a leading global asset manager with over 65 years of experience helping a broad base of clients achieve their financial goals. Our expertise spans global equities and fixed income, multi-asset strategies, ETFs, and private investments.

Privately controlled and independent, we focus solely on investment management. But there’s an unexpected side to us, too. We direct over 40% of our profits every year—more than $2 billion since 2000—to the Stowers Institute for Medical Research. Our ongoing financial support drives the Institute’s breakthrough work and mission of defeating life-threatening diseases like cancer and Alzheimer’s. So, the better we do for our clients, the more we can do for everyone.

All 1,400 of us across the globe are inspired every day by the unique difference our hard work can make in so many lives. It shows in the curiosity we bring to every initiative, the deep relationships we build with our clients, and the way we treat each other in the hallway. If you’re excited to learn more about us, we can’t wait to learn more about you.

The Global Fixed Income Group at American Century Investments is seeking a curious, analytically minded intern to help solve real-world investment problems using data, research, and code.

  • Work directly with quantitative researchers and portfolio managers to investigate investment signals and enhance systematic credit strategies.
  • Analyze large financial and market datasets using Python.
  • Explore potential projects such as developing investment signals, evaluating alternative datasets, improving portfolio-construction techniques, or testing enhancements to existing credit-selection models.
  • Learn how quantitative research is translated into portfolio and security-selection decisions.
