Investment Intern
CurrentDuring my rotational internship at Arqaam Capital, I’ve gained hands-on experience across departments including Regional and Frontier Markets, Trading (buy-side), Risk, and Legal. I’ve learned how client orders for equities are handled, communicated, and executed, along with insights into how bonds and sukuks are purchased and bid on, emphasizing the importance of clear communication. In Risk, I used advanced Excel formulas to calculate daily, annualized, and cumulative returns for stocks and indices. On the legal side, I’ve gained knowledge of regulatory paperwork, investment terms, and criteria. Each rotation has added new dimensions to my understanding of the finance world.
