By Vasu Patel, Investments Intern
AI served as an Investments Intern at the Pension Boards, focusing on integrating AI (Artificial Intelligence) into our fixed income portfolio.
My main project involved leveraging a large language model (LLM) to parse ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) data and selecting fund managers based on this analysis. I actively participated in weekly investment team meetings, engaging in investment discussions and networking with team members.
Additionally, I joined fund manager calls and gained insights from quarterly updates on investment returns and market outlook. Throughout the internship, I developed skills in Excel modeling, AI, LLMs, and ESG metrics. I also enrolled in the Bloomberg ESG course to further support my role.
Highlights of my internship include an organizational picnic, collaboration with fellow interns on a capstone project, and attendance at weekly roundtable meetings with key individuals. This immersive experience has significantly broadened my knowledge and skills in a professional setting.
The Pension Boards invites emerging leaders to apply for its exclusive Summer Internship Program at the beginning of each year for the June to August 10-week program.
Selected candidates will address real business challenges, create exciting possibilities and solutions, while driving impact for the organization's future growth initiatives. LEARN MORE.
