Firms that ran this programme last season but have not posted it yet, soonest first.
Last season, half of the firms we followed opened between 16 Sept 2025 and 23 Jan 2026.
Based on 4 firms we followed through last season.
We follow 18 firms for sales and trading summer internships in Hong Kong, and 7 of them list Hong Kong roles for the Summer 2027 intake today, 8 roles in all.
Another 9 posted Hong Kong roles this season that are no longer listed. Every firm has its own row in the firm table, with the day its listing began.
Last season, half of the 4 firms with a Hong Kong opening on record opened between 16 September 2025 and 23 January 2026.
This season, which the record counts from 1 June 2026, 15 of the 18 firms we follow have posted Hong Kong sales and trading summer internships for the Summer 2027 intake. Each firm opens on its own day, which the firm table gives, with its opening last season where the record has one.
The two Hong Kong postings we read begin in May or June: IMC asks its 10-week trading interns to be able to commence in May or June 2027, and Jane Street's internship runs May to August.
Jane Street's is for students graduating in 2028. HKUST's Spring 2027 term runs from 1 February to 28 May 2027, with exams from 17 May. HKU's 2026-27 diary ends the second semester programme by programme, on days from 30 April to 31 May 2027.
IMC's Hong Kong trading internship takes students who have commenced their penultimate year of study, and Jane Street's Hong Kong sales and trading internship takes students planning to graduate in 2028.
IMC asks for an academic background in science, engineering, mathematics, statistics, actuarial studies, finance or economics, with a minimum Distinction average or equivalent. Jane Street takes students working towards a bachelor's or master's degree, and asks for fluency in English, with Japanese, Korean, Malay or Thai a plus.
In both Hong Kong postings we read, interns work with a mentor: Jane Street pairs its interns with full-time employees who act as mentors, and IMC's interns are supported by a mentor who oversees their progress.
Jane Street's sales and trading interns work alongside its sales people and sales-traders, learning how it covers institutional clients' trading needs across its asset classes, and attend internal classes on finance and trading fundamentals. IMC's interns work on real projects from day one and develop their trading skills and systematic trading strategies.
IMC's Hong Kong trading internship posting says the majority of its interns secure a graduate position at the end of the programme.
The same Quantitative Trader Intern 2027 posting says interns have the opportunity to secure a full-time role with IMC once they graduate.
7 firms are open for sales and trading summer internships in Hong Kong right now, each with its own portal, documents and deadline, and 2 more firms are due to open this season. Jorb AI's application agent handles the multi-firm workload in one place, tailoring a CV and cover letter for each role you pursue and tracking each application alongside the rest.
“Opened” is the date the firm posted a role, or the day Jorb AI first saw it on the firm’s own careers site, which we check daily. “No longer listed” means the posting has been gone for a few days. Last season’s dates are shown only for firms we were already following when that season began.
Open counts every listing still open, including those first seen before 1 June; Opened this season counts only those first seen since.
