Students and Graduates

London Investment Banking Analyst


The Experience

The Stephens London Analyst Program is a generalist program offering analysts the best opportunity to learn and prepare for a rewarding career in finance, while making a significant contribution to our team.

The Program starts with two weeks of intensive training taught by members of the Stephens team who have gone through the process, and evolves into comprehensive on-the-job experience as analysts assist industry and product teams in advising clients. Our streamlined teams and organizational structure enable analysts to conduct meaningful work on live deals. Across our US and European business, numerous former analysts have become senior team members.

The early exposure to both senior bankers and a variety of sectors, from consumer to specialty finance, during the Stephens Analyst Programme, challenges you to take on more responsibility from day one, accelerating the start of your investment banking career.

Tara Walsh
Associate

During your training, you will have the chance to work on deal structure, financial analysis and modeling, the due diligence process, presentations, client communications and more. Instead of being assigned to a single industry group, you will work across multiple sectors and services. You will have the opportunity to take on additional responsibilities based on your individual skill sets; an exceptional second-year analyst can receive work that corresponds to the associate level.

We have a superb record of adding value for small and middle-market companies, as well as global organizations, across all major sectors and with deep expertise on the subsector level. Our transatlantic team, of more than 250 investment banking professionals, has a collaborative approach to addressing the M&A and capital needs of clients, and as an Analyst at Stephens you will play a substantial and critical role.
