Man Central Trading is a global team of more than 50 traders, execution researchers and engineers operating across multiple offices. Our mission is to maximise the preservation of alpha throughout the investment process by delivering execution excellence and trading specialisation.
We combine deep market expertise, rigorous execution research and best-in-class technology to trade effectively across asset classes and market environments.
Man Central Trading is at the forefront of applying artificial intelligence to trading and execution. The team operates at the intersection of high-touch and quant trading, combining traders’ market expertise with systematic research and AI-driven tools.
Our open, collaborative and fast-paced culture makes Man Central Trading an ideal place to learn and develop. The team offers a unique vantatge point across Man Group, providing insight into a broad range of investment strategies and trading approaches.
This 12-week internship offers the opportunity to work directly on the trading desk and gain first-hand exposure to the role of execution within the investment process.
The intern will work across a broad range of asset classes and trading styles. This will include exposure to discretionary trading and systematic trading across equities, credit, futures and other macro instruments.
Sitting at the intersection of high-touch and quant trading, the intern will help bridge the two approaches by contributing to the development and improvement of AI trading capabilities. They will work on projects exploring how artificial intelligence can improve trading decisions, execution processes and the desk’s overall trading capabilities.
The role will provide significant exposure to trading, market microstructure and Man Group’s investment engines, including Man AHL and Man Numeric within Man Systematic, as well as Man Discretionary.
We are looking for candidates with a strong mathematical and analytical background who are comfortable operating in a fast-paced environment. Successful candidates will be intellectually curious, able to learn and iterate quickly, and confident communicating with a wide range of stakeholders.
Candidates should be on track to achieve at least a 2:1 degree in a STEM-based or similarly quantitative subject.
Please note that we are looking for penultimate year university students for this programme, and successful performance on the Internship Programme does not guarantee a confirmed place on a Graduate Programme.
