Certificate of Appreciation
Recognises exceptional participation, initiative and contribution across the internship.
Learn to allocate money, manage risk, and build a portfolio that holds up.
A portfolio manager decides how to spread money across investments to balance return against risk. In this six-week internship you learn how that's done: the maths, the theory, and the judgment behind real allocation decisions. You'll clear your doubts in live sessions and finish by building a portfolio of your own for your CV.
One module each week, capstone in week six.
Video lessons, simulations and Fin Maverick grade notes across the six weeks.
Cohort-based, with mentor sessions to get you unstuck.
A model portfolio you can put on your CV.
Beyond the capstone, finishing the internship earns you three verifiable documents you can add to a CV or an application, each one signed and verified by Fin Maverick.

Awarded for completing the Fin Maverick internship, end to end.
A formal recommendation for future academic and professional opportunities.
Six weeks, one clear path from day one to a finished project. A module a week, a milestone each time, nothing that feels like busywork.
Meet your cohort and mentors, set your goals, then ease in with your first lessons on who invests and why.
3 learning hours plus your first milestone: put risk, return and diversification maths into real practice.
3 more learning hours and another milestone. Plot the efficient frontier and price returns the way managers do.
3 learning hours and your third milestone: build a portfolio from a policy statement and measure how it performed.
2 focused learning hours, then a 2-hour live doubt-clearing session. Bring every question, leave with nothing unclear.
A full week dedicated to one thing: creating the finished, CV-ready portfolio that proves you can do the job.
Open any chapter to see what it covers, what you will be able to do, and the milestone you build.
Profile any investor by risk tolerance, time horizon and constraints, and understand how the asset management industry serves them.
Calculate portfolio risk and return, use correlation to measure diversification, and build a forecast using prediction models.
Plot an efficient frontier, separate diversifiable from market risk, and use CAPM to price expected returns.
Construct a portfolio from an investment policy statement, allocate across asset classes, and measure how it performed.
Identify the risks a portfolio faces, spot the behavioural traps that lead to bad decisions, and set rules for rebalancing.
A finished, CV-ready model portfolio that proves you can profile an investor, allocate capital, and defend every decision.
Every week runs on the same building blocks, so you are always doing the work, not just reading about it.
Short two to six minute videos that work the concept through on the live case, so you see the method in motion before you try it.
Concise, structured notes that turn the week into frameworks, checklists and examples you can revisit while building your portfolio.
Practice inside realistic scenarios, with the same trade-offs portfolio managers face when they allocate capital, measure risk and rebalance.
Each week ends with one concrete deliverable, so your final capstone is built in parts instead of rushed at the end.
A live session brings the loose ends together before the capstone, so you enter the final week with your doubts resolved.
The Markowitz frontier module made everything click. I can now explain diversification with actual numbers, not just intuition.
I built a model portfolio I could walk through step by step. The capstone gave me something concrete for interviews.
Understanding behavioural biases changed how I think about risk. I catch myself before making emotional allocation decisions now.
The performance attribution section was the highlight. I finally understand why a portfolio outperformed or underperformed its benchmark.
Six weeks, and I went from knowing the theory to building a real portfolio. The milestones made sure nothing was left to the last minute.
Same hands-on format, a different desk. Pick another track and add one more CV-ready project.
Cover a company end to end and publish a research note you can defend.
Work through fund selection, categories and scheme documents like an allocator.
Turn money basics into content and workshops that build real confidence.
