Summer analysts assist the firm's principals in finding businesses whose product superiority enables them to take market share for a long time. Analysts learn how to assess competitive positioning, valuations, managements, and company cultures across industries and geographies. We use our summer program to identify people who would thrive as full-time analysts with us upon graduation.

Chief qualifications are curiosity, intelligence, and evidence of enthusiasm for self-directed research projects. The candidate should be comfortable writing concisely, working with numbers, and presenting conclusions orally. Related work experience is not required. Coursework in finance or economics is not required. Applicants should be interested in learning how to interpret financial statements and gather information through interviewing industry sources.

Candidates must possess a minimum GPA of 3.8 or other evidence of exceptional intellectual ability. Only current juniors may apply for Summer 2026.
