Summer Intern 2023 – Client Portfolio Management

My Robeco experience was transformative. Being surrounded by industry experts that are passionate about their work was inspiring. My project was very interactive which allowed me to fully integrate within the firm from the very start. My mentors, as well as the people I worked with constantly pushed me to do my best and get out of my comfort zone. Being part of the CPM team allowed me to combine my passion for finance with my interest for commercial activities. The internship also included group events that created a meaningful bond with my fellow interns. After enjoying the internship so much I was given the opportunity to return to the firm as a working student while doing my masters.

Summer Intern 2023 – Global Macro

I really enjoyed my summer internship at Robeco, which offered a fantastic opportunity to learn from rigorous research-driven analysts and portfolio managers. With regular sessions and seminars on a range of topics including global equities, fixed income trading and ESG analysis, the program expanded my understanding of the different parts of the asset management business. At the same time, my summer research project allowed me to explore more deeply global macro fund management, with the investment team really taking the time to explain their processes and they suggested ideas for my work, which I presented at the end of my internship. In particular, I really enjoyed joining the weekly investment committees, where I got to see how the latest economic developments shape investment decisions.

Summer Intern 2023 – Active Ownership

The summer internship at Robeco was a valuable experience, professionally and personally. During my time in the Active Ownership team, I had the chance to understand how Robeco can push companies to pursue more sustainable actions. Guided by experts in the field, I learned about the challenges and opportunities for each engagement case. My research contributed to different engagement cases, which showed me how my work would be helpful to Robeco even after my internship. During the internship, there was a great focus on stepping outside of my comfort zone. Weekly meetings with my mentor and workshops held by professionals helped me set goals for my future career and extended my skillset. One of my favorite parts of the internship was meeting brilliant and interesting colleagues, coming from diverse backgrounds.
