Founded in 1929, Robeco is a pure-play international asset manager with headquarters in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, and 15 more offices worldwide. A global leader in sustainable investing since 1995, Robeco is a pioneer in sustainable as well as fundamental and quantitative research, driving investment strategies for a broad range of asset classes.

As an intern, you’ll be fully immersed in the day-to-day activities of one of our six investment domains, contributing to real projects that make an impact.

• Fundamental Equity Investing is where it all started for Robeco. It’s arguably the purest form of investing: finding the most attractive companies to invest in. We base our investment decisions on in-depth fundamental research into businesses, sectors, macroeconomics and trends. We offer opportunities across Thematic and Emerging Markets equities.
• Fixed Income Investing is where complexity meets creativity. The Fixed Income team invests in government- and company-issued debt across a wide variety of sectors, countries, and ratings. We offer opportunities across the Global Macro and Fundamental Credits teams.
• Quantitative Research is in Robeco’s DNA. We make our investment decisions based on hidden relationships in our data using state-of-the-art techniques. We offer opportunities across the Quantitative Equities Research and Quantitative Equities Portfolio Management teams.
• Investment Solutions lies at the intersection of various asset classes to offer clients custom-made funds. The Investment Solutions team delivers superior, research-driven, sustainable strategies and designs innovative solutions that fit clients’ needs. The team manages assets across multi-asset funds, discretionary multi-asset solutions, and customized liability and buy-and-maintain fixed income solutions.
• Client Portfolio Management is a linking pin between Investments and Sales, sharing insights about Robeco products and assisting with client requests and questions. We offer opportunities to join the Client Portfolio Management team in Fixed Income.
• Data Science transforms vast datasets from financial markets and sustainability sources into actionable insights. It uncovers behavioral biases in investment processes, develops tools to share these findings, and supports investment teams across the organization. We offer opportunities in the (Climate) Data Science team.

Position & Requirements

Your internship begins with an introduction to the company, followed by hands-on training sessions to prepare you for the work ahead. From there, you’ll dive into the daily activities of your team, gaining real-world experience and contributing directly to ongoing projects.

• Develop a python model in Bloomberg to identify relative value opportunities on government bond curves
• Enhance economic forecasting by improving real-time “nowcasting” models.
• Leverage new alternative data sources to uncover factor premiums.
