Keeping you up and running
Markets reward those who can identify opportunities before others do. During my time at Brevan Howard, I've seen the firm embrace AI and advanced technology in ways that have fundamentally accelerated the investment process. If you're naturally curious and enjoy challenging conventional thinking, it's an environment where you can investigate ideas, test hypotheses, and uncover patterns in data faster than ever, leaving more time for the judgment and creativity that ultimately uncover differentiated sources of alpha.

One of the things that surprised me most after joining as an intern was how accessible senior portfolio managers and quants are. Open discussion and collaboration are part of the culture, and you’re encouraged to contribute to conversations around trade ideas, investment research, and process improvements from an early stage. It’s an environment where good ideas matter more than your age or title.

The Apex Journey
The Apex Journey is the career pathway for investment professionals at Brevan Howard. It begins with identifying exceptional early talent all the way through to portfolio management responsibility and leadership within the firm. While every career develops and progresses differently, our philosophy is consistent: we invest in exceptional people over the long term, providing them opportunities, support, and the platform to help them reach their full potential.
Brevan Howard is deliberately designed as an elite team, where individuals are expected to think independently, contribute meaningfully, and operate within a culture defined by high standards, intellectual curiosity and shared accountability. Whether an individual ultimately becomes a portfolio manager, specialist or leader within the business, the journey is defined by continuous learning, increasing responsibility, and a relentless pursuit of excellence.
Meta card 2
We invest in our people from day one. Through our internship and graduate programmes, individuals gain early exposure to global markets, macro investing and the technologies that underpin decision-making at scale, including AI-enabled tools, before working alongside front-office teams on live investment opportunities. As they progress, they deepen both their technical expertise and investment judgement through increasing responsibility, live market experience, and close collaboration with senior investment professionals. Those who advance to portfolio management take on responsibility for deploying capital and managing risk, supported by the firm's global institutional infrastructure.
At every stage, our objective is the same: to create an environment where exceptional people can do the best work of their careers while contributing to the long-term success of the firm.
What stands out about Brevan Howard is the pace at which you can develop. I joined the firm straight after completing my PhD and have had the opportunity to work across our London, Geneva, and Abu Dhabi offices. That global experience has exposed me to different markets, investment perspectives, and colleagues, while continually increasing my level of responsibility. If you back yourself and consistently perform, Brevan Howard provides an exceptional opportunity to accelerate your development and earn the responsibility to take risk.

What makes Brevan Howard different is that debate isn't just tolerated, it's expected. You're encouraged to reason from first principles, challenge assumptions and defend your thinking, because that's how we arrive at better answers.
