2024 Summer Internship - Fundamental Research Analyst

ABOUT CANVAS 

On our proprietary research team—Market Intelligence—you’ll partner with our Investment Professionals and Compliance team to uncover insights about companies, industries, and the broader economy through deep fundamental research and applying data science and engineering techniques to alternative data sets. 

Canvas is the supply chain research group within Market Intelligence. Canvas conducts compliant supply chain research by developing deep industry expertise, talking with private company executives, and synthesizing information for portfolio managers and analysts—our team produces impactful research that will change the way you look at the world. 

ROLE SUMMARY

You will synthesize your findings in comprehensive reports that are consumed by our investment professionals.
