Better Decisions Begin with You
Aon shapes decisions for the better to protect and enrich the lives of people around the world. When you join us, you’ll become empowered to make the same impact, as you explore ways of becoming a more relevant, connected and valued professional.
Investment Consulting - Client Group
Join Aon as an Investment Consulting summer intern and for 9 weeks step into life as a valued member of our elite team of specialists.
Our consultants have been advising employers and governments on their pension schemes and other wealth — totalling around $4 trillion — for over 60 years.
Your Role on our Investment Consulting Summer Internship
Join us as an investment consulting intern in either our Defined Benefit (DB) Client Group or Defined Contribution (DC) Client Group, helping to advise our clients on everything from setting investment strategies and selection of investment managers to corporate transactions and asset transfers.
You’ll be a key member of our dedicated teams, playing a vital, hands-on role in giving our global clients the support they need. This involves providing investment servicing and advice covering markets and strategic considerations, such as managing assets (for both the DB and DC Client Groups) and liabilities (for the DB Client Group only). You’ll gain early experience of dealing with a wide range of investments, adapting them around economic conditions and outlooks.
In the DB Client Group, you’ll also learn how and why pension scheme liabilities change because of economic assumptions - such as inflation, interest rates and the effect that market movements have on invested assets. Whilst in the DC Client Group, you'll learn about the DC pension vehicles, applicable regulatory and legislative rules and main asset classes and investment theory relating specifically to a DC pension scheme.
What Your Day Could Look Like:
Over the internship you could experience:
Setting investment strategies and selection of investment managers,
Supporting our consultants on all aspects of environmental, social and governance; or
Working with pension scheme trustees to implement their long-term strategies efficiently and target better outcomes.
Whichever team your join, this is your opportunity to immerse yourself in our fast-paced, inclusive culture and learn from the best.
