2026 Summer Policy & Investment Internship - PATHWAY

Capstone is a leading policy analysis and regulatory due diligence firm with locations in Washington DC, New York, Houston, London, Paris, and Mumbai. We advise institutional investors and corporations on how changes in EU and UK regulatory policy will impact investments. Capstone leads coverage of public policy investments affecting financial and business services, energy and environment, healthcare, TMT, and more. Our professionals analyse policy to uncover risks, opportunities, and, along the way, unique business and investment strategies for our clients. We live at the nexus of policy and investments.

Detailed Description:  

Capstone’s summer PATHWAY internship program is designed to help university students gain experience in a variety of sectors to set themselves up for success. Interns will learn how to analyse policies and regulations; interpret company financial data (annual reports/quarterly reports and investor presentations); create compelling investment ideas; pitch to clients; write research notes; and interview stakeholders. Our internship program pairs interns with our research teams to conduct actual work being sent out to clients. Our interns are asked to take on a significant amount of responsibility, with support from senior analysts and mentors.
