The posting

Capula Investment Management is a leading global hedge fund managing over $35 billion in assets. We are headquartered in London and have offices in New York, Singapore, Hong Kong, Tokyo, Geneva and Abu Dhabi. We manage absolute return, enhanced fixed income, macro and alpha strategies for a diversified group of investors worldwide. Capula invests in a broad universe of asset classes, including fixed income, equities, currencies and commodities, as well as derivatives related to these asset classes.

The Internship Programme:

Each year we hire a small cohort of highly motivated and intellectually curious students who are interested in pursuing a career in trading to join our Summer Internship Programme. We hire interns our global offices in London, New York, Hong Kong, Singapore and Tokyo.

This is a fantastic opportunity to work with some of the industry's best traders who have a strong, proven track record. Interns are embedded within a specific team and will gain direct experience of working with portfolio managers and traders, develop quantitative strategies and models that will contribute to real trading decisions.

The internship runs for ten weeks from June to August. At the start of the internship, you will join us at our London headquarters for Intern Orientation Week, where you will participate in training and activities that will help prepare you with the skills and knowledge to excel in the internship. This includes:

  • Training on financial markets;
  • Trading Simulation game;
  • Presentations from senior stakeholders and managers of front office and support teams; and
  • Social and networking activities, including an intern dinner with Senior Portfolio Managers

Your responsibilities as an intern will include:

  • Working closely with Traders, Portfolio Managers and Quantitative Researchers on defined project(s) leading directly to trading decisions;
  • Receiving and participating in training in financial modelling, analysis, research methods and trading strategies;
  • Evaluating market conditions and economic data analysis;
  • Assisting in developing research ideas to support the desk's trading strategies; and
  • Developing tools and reports to aid in trade analysis and identification

The recruitment process is typically as follows:

  • Python coding challenge
  • Interview with our Talent team
  • Quantitative interview with a member of the Quantitative Strategy team
  • Final interview with a Senior Trader or Portfolio Manager, and Chief of Staff

Applications are screened on a rolling basis, so we recommend you apply as early as possible.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
