SeaFort’s Summer Analyst Program

Program Overview

SeaFort’s Summer Analyst internship program is a unique opportunity to work with Atlantic Canada’s leading private equity firm. Summer Analysts work as part of a small, dynamic team that actively deploys capital and manages investments in businesses across Canada. Students who have an interest in investing and private equity, and that are currently enrolled in a university program and registered to return to studies in the fall are encouraged to apply. 

 The 12-week program gives interns the opportunity to conduct research and support many aspects of the investment process, such as deal sourcing, due diligence, business analysis, deal execution, and ongoing portfolio support.

The Summer Analyst will have the opportunity to interact with the entire SeaFort team, including Partners.
