Intern

Intern Q Investments, a multi-billion dollar private investment firm based in downtown Fort Worth, is looking for a sophomore or junior to join its intern program for this current semester. Students with accounting or finance majors are preferred, but students with excellent grades and the desire to gain experience in a fast-paced office setting are also considered. We offer a casual work environment and our interns normally work 10-15 hours per week based around their academic schedule (or longer during the Summer). The paid internship will be a great chance for college students to see how an investment firm operates and to have a potential opportunity to interview for a full-time position if desired. Pay can range up to $22.50 an hour with an initial base pay of $15 an hour. Three of Q’s partners and several other Q employees originally started with the firm as interns while in college, so the firm has a very open mindset in terms of opportunities for moving up within the organization over time. This internship will not include direct work involving investments analysis, which is why Q is open to other majors outside of finance and accounting. There is some finance-related work involved, and there are also administrative tasks assigned to interns, as detailed below. Educational Opportunities within Internship: Participate in monthly group information sessions with department heads: these senior members and partners of Q spend time talking to interns about what we do and how we do it, within each area of the firm’s operations Observe the Q team in action through a rotation program: during the rotations, each intern spends 20 minutes per week meeting one-on-one with individuals from all the groups within the firm, to get a first-hand view of the job responsibilities within each group (trading, analysis, accounting, legal, IT, etc.) Access to Wall Street trading desks: if a Q intern is ever visiting New York, Q Investments will arrange for a tour of the trading desk of one of the major Wall Street banks during their trip (Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, Deutsche Bank, JP Morgan, etc.) The Successful Candidate Will: Be able to commit to two consecutive semesters, either Fall-Spring, Spring-Summer, or Summer-Fall Assist various departments throughout the office by running errands, getting the mail and handling other clerical duties Handle lunch check-in for the firm, which caters lunch from various restaurants on a daily basis for all employees Utilize Bloomberg to assist our traders with tracking earnings releases and dividend confirmations Researching prospectuses and indentures on different companies
