Gained amazing experience under my PM Richard. Asset management part really helped me with my interview at BoA as I was able to break down the internship knowledge and experience for the role advertised.
Can’t thank Stratify enough for choosing me to be part of this internship.
Absolute gem of a company, helped me secure a job which i never thought i would get, cant recommend more! :)
They offer an internship in their email saying “Your impressive CV and evident enthusiasm for the investment banking sector caught our attention. However, after careful consideration, we regret to inform you that your application for the position has been unsuccessful at this time.” They ask for £399 and tells it is not a payment for them but just legal things. All scam!! Be careful!!

Thank you for your feedback. We regret to hear that there has been a misunderstanding regarding our internship program and the associated requirements.
The £399 mentioned in our communication is not a payment to Stratify nor a legal fee. This amount refers to the balance required in your brokerage account. This balance is essential during the Sales and Trading cycle taught under the guidance of Citi and the Quantitative Research cycle taught under the guidance of JP Morgan Chase & Co. Having a live brokerage account with a live data feed is crucial for learning in real-life scenarios. It allows interns to hedge risk, analyse and execute trades, create pitch decks, and implement fundamental analysis, such as FOMC meeting reports, into practical trades.
Additionally, the Quantitative Research cycle requires a live brokerage account to extract data for building credit risk analysis, FICO scores, and creating commodity storage contracts. Access to the API data feed, which requires a minimum balance of $500 (equivalent to £399 at today's rate), is necessary for these tasks. Importantly, this balance remains in your control and can be withdrawn once these two stages are complete. The remaining Mergers and Acquisitions and Asset Management stages do not require a brokerage account for their practical learning components.
We understand how this could be confusing and apologise for any misunderstanding. We aim to provide a comprehensive and practical learning experience, and your feedback is invaluable for us to improve our communication.
In the previous experience, I'm only familar with the buy-side. And I felt exciting as usual when playing the role of asset manager. Today, playing the role of IB sales and traders gave me a lot of insights into the work of sell-side and understand the importance of the communication with clients, the ability of multitasking, and professional skills.
Insighful and challenging experience which gave me exposure to Trading and Asset Management.
I am 2 months in to my Stratify Internship and I couldn’t be more glad that they accepted me as a student. The valuable experience and knowledge I have gotten is indescribable. I have managed to build my trading portfolio with the team here along with networking with experts in the Investment banking industry.
Will definitely recommend to people who are looking to gain an edge and a foothold when breaking into this industry.
My three-month internship at Stratify was eye-opening. Despite realising how much I didn't know initially, the hands-on experience provided invaluable insights into various investment banking roles. Mentors were excellent, and guest speakers from big banks added to the experience. Thanks to Stratify, I feel confident and prepared for interviews, including one at Morgan Stanley next week which Stratify’s recruitment team setup for me. Highly recommend this internship for anyone who gets invited to it.
