Your field of study or major is not a determining factor; we seek individuals who can effectively manage teamwork, exhibit integrity, possess intellectual curiosity, demonstrate leadership potential, and express a keen interest in the financial markets. - Students should have a high enthusiasm for the financial services industry. Interest in analyzing companies and looking at stocks is recommended given the project-based nature of this program. - Highly self‑motivated with a high risk appetite and the ability to make decisions in an ambiguous environment. - Candidates with excellent communication skills, both written and verbal in an Asian language.

What to Expect: - Your online application, essays, and resume will serve as an introduction to who you are as a candidate. Once you complete the online application, we will begin reviewing your profile. - Selected candidates will then receive an email invitation to participate in a case study, allowing you to showcase your experiences and demonstrate your business acumen. - Following submission and review of your case study, shortlisted candidates will be invited to complete an online assessment and participate in virtual one‑on‑one interviews with various members of the Academy team. Shortlisted candidates will then be invited to attend a half‑day assessment center. There are two application deadlines: one in mid‑May for candidates interested in an early summer assessment center, and another for students applying over the summer to mid Fall, which will lead to a late fall assessment center. We strongly encourage candidates to apply and complete all requirements as soon as they feel ready to begin the hiring process. Please note, you may only submit one application to the Academy internship program globally, so only apply to the region you are most interested in. Don't miss this opportunity to kickstart your career in the world of investing with the Point72 Academy. Please note that any use of GenAI is strictly prohibited when completing this application. ## ABOUT POINT72 Point72 is a leading global alternative investment firm led by Steven A. Cohen.
