Shape the Future Through Insight

At Capital Group, our mission is to improve people's lives through successful investing. Our Capital Associates Program (CAP) invites exceptional early-career individuals who combine relentless curiosity, analytical rigor, collaborative leadership, and independent thinking to help us tackle some of the world's most complex and consequential investment questions.

CAP is not a typical internship - it's a highly selective, immersive experience designed for students who want to think deeply, challenge assumptions, and learn about Capital's unique investment process.

A Truly Differentiated Internship Experience

The CAP Summer Internship is designed for students who excel at deep research and sustained inquiry. You'll investigate complex investment questions that require original insights, careful judgment, and the ability to synthesize information across disciplines. The emphasis is on rigorous research-examining industries, assessing long-term forces, and developing well-reasoned perspectives when answers are rarely obvious.

You'll have the autonomy to shape your own research approach, explore ideas in depth, and produce thoughtful analysis that contributes to Capital Group's long-term investment thinking. Intern projects address real-world challenges and explore emerging opportunities across global markets. Recent intern research topics have included:

* Commercializing Nuclear Energy

* Europe's Energy Mix Over the Next 10-20 Years

* The Business Jet Industry

* Deep Dive on Humanoids

How You'll Contribute and Develop

* Ownership of Substantive Research:
Lead an end-to-end investment research project that rewards curiosity, intellectual discipline, and strong writing. You'll frame the question, conduct deep analysis, and present clear, well-supported conclusions to senior investors.

* Development Through Practice:
Strengthen your analytical reasoning, research process, and communication skills through hands-on work, mentorship, and targeted development sessions.

* Exposure to Professional Investment Research:
Work closely with analysts and portfolio managers to see how rigorous inquiry, qualitative insight, and disciplined thinking inform real investment decisions.

* A Global Community of Thinkers:
Join a small, high-calibre cohort of interns across London, Los Angeles, and Singapore-students from diverse academic backgrounds united by intellectual curiosity and an interest in finance.
