Unique Bonus
Next to your attractive internship salary, you will receive a bonus linked to your graduation grade: the higher your grade, the bigger the bonus. The bonus varies from EUR 500 for a final grade 8, EUR 1250 for a grade 9 to as much as EUR 2500 for a 10. We wrap this bonus in an attractive Robeco investment portfolio, filled with 100% quant model driven mutual funds. The precondition for this bonus incentive is that your graduation supervisor at Robeco is on the committee that determines the grade for your thesis.
A Super Quant Internship at Robeco QS is a unique combination of academic research and practical work. We offer you:
- Experienced supervisors with a background in econometrics or mathematics completed with a PhD or CFA charter;
- Challenging research subjects that combine practical relevance with sufficient academic content to allow you to write your thesis;
- Involvement of one or more (intended) users of the research work, such as fund managers or risk managers;
- The chance to join an enthusiastic, highly motivated team of mainly young people (average age is 30) in a pleasant working atmosphere.
For the Super Quant internships we are seeking students in the graduation phase of a master's degree in a quantitative discipline (e.g. econom(etr)ics, statistics or mathematics) with the following profile:
- Affinity with, and preferably experience in, quantitative research;
- High ambition to achieve good results;
- Creativity supported by strong analytical abilities;
- Outstanding grades in major courses;
- Courage, with enthusiasm for innovative and challenging research.
The department has many years' experience supervising top university talent and publishing academic research. The relevant knowledge as well as the extensive experience in supervising interns will be available to you during your internship at QS. A Super Quant Internship is an excellent steppingstone for your future career, both inside and outside Robeco.
QS has developed explosively. The role of quantitative investment in Robeco's professional investment practice has gained in importance considerably in recent years. The role of quantitative models is no longer purely an advisory one. At the end of 2012, Robeco manages about EUR 20 billion purely based on quantitative models. Some of the funds based on quantitative models are available to retail investors, e.g. Robeco Lux-o-rente, Robeco Flex-o-rente, Robeco Quant Emerging Debt, Robeco Global Conservative Equities, Robeco European Conservative Equities, Robeco Emerging Conservative Equities and Active Quant Emerging Markets Equities. You can find more information on these investment funds at www.robeco.com or www.morningstar.nl.
Robeco Quantitative Strategies (QS) is a department of experts. Our staff all has a quantitative background in econometrics, mathematics, economics or physics.
