Overview

You’re curious and keen to learn. If you don’t have a background in finance, what matters is ambition to explore it, drive to make an impact, and confidence to take on new challenges. If fast-paced environments suit you, you thrive in a team and want to build real-world career experience with support every step of the way, this internship could be for you.

What you’ll do

• Join a dedicated deal team and work closely with colleagues focused on specific transactions, products, or business sectors. Collaborate with banking teams across the globe to help find solutions for clients, including corporates, private equity firms, and financial institutions.
• Experience different areas of banking by being placed in Strategic Advisory, Corporate Finance, or Financing Solutions depending on interests and business needs.
• Get exposure to live deals and contribute to supporting work that helps make transactions happen.
• Build your understanding of financial statements—read balance sheets, spot anomalies, and calculate key ratios with support if you’re new to it.
• Help create client materials by researching market conditions and preparing documents like investment memos, management presentations, and pitchbooks.
• Explore how financial models work, including valuation, mergers and acquisitions analysis, and financing assessments. Learn techniques like discounted cash flow and leveraged buyouts.
• Conduct research and credit analysis—track market developments, analyze company performance, and contribute to internal insights and client-facing materials.
• Develop your technical toolkit by sharpening Excel and PowerPoint skills and producing polished, client-ready presentations.

You’ll kick off your internship with a week of dedicated training led by external experts. By the end of your time with us, you’ll have a clearer understanding of HSBC and investment banking and where you could fit in. Perform well and you’ll have the opportunity of a space on our graduate programme.
