UWIN Intern

UWIN Internship & Mentorship Program

The Loomis Sayles Undergraduate Women’s Investment Network (UWIN) program offers both mentorship and internship opportunities for undergraduate students in their sophomore, junior or senior years who have an interest in investing, business, finance, accounting, data science, mathematics, or economics. The mission of UWIN is to inspire, develop and recruit undergraduate students who are underrepresented in the investment management industry by providing mentorship, internship experience, professional development and technical skills needed to succeed in the industry.

The UWIN internship program is rotational during the school year from September 2025 through April 2026. Undergraduate students will experience two investment or client facing functions (one per semester or just one semester if studying abroad) in areas such as fixed income research, portfolio management, product marketing, equity research, and client relationship management. The internship program requires a school year commitment of between 12-16 hours per week (with one full 8 hour day required on a Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday and 4 to 8 hours on a second day Monday through Friday) over two 10-week rotations. Each intern will also be matched with a Loomis Sayles mentor as part of the mentorship program described below. Sample internship projects include:
