About the 2027 Sustainable Finance Summer Fellowship

Key Responsibilities

• Fellows will work on projects involving financial analysis, research, presentations and sustainable investment initiatives. Selected fellows may be expected to conduct strategic business analysis and industry research, develop and work with complex financial models, prepare and deliver clear presentations, monitor market developments and provide updates, research and analyse emerging industry trends, collect, organise and analyse data, contribute to or lead projects supporting sustainable investing initiatives. These responsibilities will strengthen analytical and financial skills while developing understanding of sustainable finance and investment markets.

• Eligibility Requirements and Candidate Profile

• The fellowship is intended for candidates pursuing postgraduate education with interest in sustainability and finance. Applicants must be currently working towards a Master’s degree or enrolled in another graduate-level programme, demonstrate interest in sustainability and finance, be able to summarise and communicate complex ideas effectively, have strong organisational skills, be comfortable working independently and as part of a team, manage multiple projects and stakeholders efficiently, work effectively under tight deadlines. Morgan Stanley is looking for candidates who are proactive, collaborative and capable of contributing to projects involving different teams and stakeholders.

• Application Requirements

• Applicants must submit a resume and provide a separate written response to a sustainability-related question. The response must be no longer than 300 words and address the question: What is one sustainability issue or theme that deserves greater attention from investors, businesses or policymakers? Why is it often overlooked, and what are the consequences if it continues to receive insufficient attention? The question is intended to assess the applicant’s understanding of sustainability challenges and ability to communicate a thoughtful perspective on an issue relevant to investors, businesses or policymakers. Candidates should ensure that their response is concise, well-structured and supported by clear reasoning.

• Compensation and Fellowship Benefits

• The advertised base pay rate for the role is US$135,000 per year at the commencement of employment. This figure represents the stated annual base pay rate, not a confirmed payment of US$135,000 for the 10-week fellowship. The actual compensation arrangement for the summer placement should be confirmed through the official recruitment process. Morgan Stanley also notes that its broader compensation packages may include discretionary bonuses and other company-sponsored benefits, depending on the position. The programme additionally offers professional exposure through interaction with sustainable finance practitioners, senior leaders and teams working on investment and sustainability initiatives.
