Girls Who Invest

How do you find a starting point in a field where talent networks are closed before you even know they exist They build those networks. Girls Who Invest zeroes in on one question: what would financial markets look like if leadership wasn’t dominated by one gender. Their answer is practical—they open doors by placing university students into paid summer internships at asset-management firms. Exposure is only part of it; they wrap skills like portfolio analysis and market research around real work, so the internships don’t just pad résumés.

Head to 28 Liberty St 6th floor New York, NY 10005 and you’ll find a slate of pre-internship modules taught online. These start months before the first day on the trading floor, covering financial statements, valuation methods, and fixed-income essentials. They also run live Q&A sessions with portfolio managers—real voices, no corporate filters—so aspirants hear directly how markets behave when volatility spikes. It’s the kind of access that usually requires nepotism or luck at minimum.

Interactive case studies dominate the curriculum outside internship season. Every month brings a simulated takeover fight or index rebalancing, where teams defend their stock picks in front of judges who actually run money. The critique isn’t abstract: portfolio turnover ratios and risk-adjusted returns are dissected in real time. They also publish open research briefs that don’t just lecture; they include source data and editable spreadsheets, nudging students to test their own assumptions rather than accept boilerplate answers.
