2027 Summer Analyst

Company Overview

Every firm has a culture – the values, beliefs, methodology, attitudes and standards that reflect an organization’s DNA. But the truly inspiring firms – the game-changers, the industry leaders and the disruptors – have cultures that propel them to innovate and stand out. At Brown Advisory, we aim to be one of those inspired firms. Over the years, we have purposefully built and nurtured our client-first culture.

Brown Advisory is an independent investment management and strategic advisory firm committed to delivering a combination of first-class performance, strategic advice and the highest level of client service. The firm’s clients—including individuals, families, family offices, endowments, foundations, charities, institutions, consultants, and financial intermediaries—are served by over 1,000 colleagues worldwide, all of whom are equity owners of the firm.

Program Overview

Brown Advisory is seeking motivated, team-oriented students to join us for a 9-week, on-site internship designed to immerse you in every facet of investment management. While you will have the opportunity to select an area of specialty (e.g. Portfolio Management or Investment Research), you’ll contribute to projects that span the entire firm.

Our immersive internship is designed to build your analytical, strategic, and communication skills through real-world projects that span across a variety of departments and impact firm-wide decision-making.

By collaborating with colleagues across the firm, you’ll learn how to harness data to inform investment decisions, optimize processes, and deliver exceptional client outcomes. Your contributions will span the breadth of our organization, offering a holistic view of how asset management firms function, innovate, and deliver long-term value to clients.
