Strong academic track record with demonstrated interest in business, finance and/or economics.
The Loomis Sayles Valor Employee Resource Group was founded in 2022 with the mission of supporting and connecting the firm’s military veterans, family members and military supporters through community engagement, education and other resources.
The Valor summer internship program, which is sponsored by the Valor ESG, is offered to college undergraduates and focuses on a combination of work experience, technical skill building and professional development. The internship’s goal is to build financial industry knowledge and skills while supporting acclimation from the military to the corporate world.
The military focuses on character development as much as it trains for core attributes like discipline, commitment, teamwork, and mission accomplishment. For me, these qualities translated seamlessly into the investment industry, where perseverance and collaboration are critical to uniting ideas and resources in order to make timely investment decisions. My military experience provided tools and lessons that have been invaluable to my career—ones that simply cannot be taught in business school.
