What we look for in a candidate 

Successful Jefferies Summer Analysts are able to multitask and manage a variety of projects simultaneously. Candidates must demonstrate professionalism and client management skills together with strong technical, written and verbal communication abilities. The work is fast paced, challenging and intellectually stimulating. The ability to work under pressure and tight deadlines, be adaptable, and operate both independently and as part of a team are essential traits of a successful candidate.

As part of the Equity Research division, Summer Analysts typically:

• Support senior analysts in building, maintaining and analyzing financial models to evaluate company fundamentals and industry dynamics.
• Conduct data gathering and market research - including leveraging AI tools for faster, higher quality insights - to support the formulation of investment views.
• Assist in drafting research reports, presentations and thematic deep dives, using AI enabled workflows to enhance clarity, speed, and analytical depth.
• Monitor company news flow, earnings results and sector developments to keep research outputs timely, differentiated and actionable.

Candidates should have a strong academic background with a minimum GPA of 3.6 or equivalent. For roles based in Hong Kong, written and spoken Mandarin skills are preferred. Although a background in accounting or finance can be helpful, we also hire Summer Analysts from a wide range of academic disciplines including science, technology, engineering and mathematics.
