A Career with Point72’s Market Intelligence Team
On our proprietary research team—Market Intelligence—you’ll support Canvas team members as they work with our investment professionals and Compliance team to uncover insights about companies, industries, and the broader economy through deep fundamental research and applying data science and engineering techniques to alternative data sets. You’ll work alongside a talented team with diverse skills, backgrounds, and perspectives.
Canvas is the supply chain research group within Market Intelligence. Canvas conducts compliant supply chain research by developing deep industry expertise, talking with private company executives, and synthesizing information for portfolio managers and analysts. Our team produces impactful research that will change the way you look at the world.
About the Fundamental Researcher Internship
When you join the Canvas team, you’re signing up for the learning experience of a lifetime. You will never look at anything the same way—from grocery stores to tires to semiconductors. Every day, Canvas team members speak with some of the most successful private company executives and learn about the businesses they’ve spent their lives building. The team synthesizes findings in comprehensive reports that are consumed by our investment professionals. Other Market Intelligence divisions conduct quantitative research to explain what is going on in an industry. As a Canvas Fundamental Researcher, our qualitative research helps explain why it is happening.
During the 10-week program based in our New York office, you will gain exposure to:
