Intern equity capital markets

ING's Equity Capital Markets team currently has a vacant internship position for a student currently enrolled in a European University. The internship has a duration of 4 to 6 months (exact period to be agreed upon) and is expected to start in August/September 2023.

ING Equity Capital Markets

Equity Capital Markets (ECM) is part of the Corporate Finance (CF) department and advises companies on raising equity on international stock markets. ECM covers many different products including Initial Public Offerings (IPOs), follow-on equity issues and secondary offerings (rights issues or accelerated bookbuild offerings (ABBs)), share buybacks, preference shares issuances and equity-linked transactions (convertible bonds). We have a leading position in the Benelux with more Global Coordinator and Bookrunner roles than any other domestic or international investment bank, and we have been recognised locally and internationally for our award-winning holistic brokerage approach. Together with the (equities) dealing room, ECM originates, structures and markets equity and equity-linked transactions to institutional investors (a.o., pension funds, insurance companies, asset managers, hedge funds) and Benelux retail investors. Additionally, we closely work with ING's specialist Issuer Services team to coordinate listing processes on Euronext.
