Today is International Intern Day. International Intern Day! A day to celebrate the next generation of leaders — our interns! 🎉    This year, we at Beringer have had the pleasure of working with Haris Sheikh, our 2024 Summer Investment Analyst, and we want you to get to know him too. We’re grateful to Haris for his hard work, fresh perspectives, and continuous desire to learn.    7 Questions with Beringer Capital Summer Analyst Haris Sheikh:    Q1. What did you want to be when you were a child?  A professional soccer player! Real Madrid all the way.  Q2. How did you decide on Beringer for your summer internship?  I knew someone that had worked at Beringer previously and they had great things to say, but then when I had my interview, I was really drawn in by the culture; everyone was so nice!  Q3. The coolest thing about my internship has been_______.  Getting to sit with people who run multi-million-dollar businesses, like @Benzinga and learning how they think.   Q4. What’s the key learning you’ll take away from your time at Beringer?  I’ve learned how to think like a Private Equity Analyst…what to look for in a deal and how the deal evolves over its lifecycle. Also, attention to detail is really important!  Q5. You’re a Finance major—do you see yourself being in the Private Equity world as a possible career path?  Yes, 100%. I was interested in it before, but this experience really affirmed it for me.  Q6: What is your favourite thing about being a part of the Beringer Capital team?   The team is incredibly supportive, and the collaborative culture fosters both personal and professional growth. It's inspiring to be part of a group where everyone is passionate about what they do, and where my contributions are valued and recognized.  Q7. What’s the most fun thing you’ve done at Beringer this summer?  On the social side, they had a welcome event at an Escape Room. I love Escape Rooms—I’ve done 16 of them. I only escaped from 15, though. The one I didn’t get out of was one I did with my parents. 😊    #PrivateEquity #NationalInternDay

How “ECONOMIC MOATS” is helpful in my internship role Portfolio Management? First, let’s understand the term “ECONOMIC MOATS” An economic moat refers to a competitive advantage that a company has over its competitors, allowing it to protect its market share and profitability over the long term. The term originates from Warren Buffett, who likened these advantages to the protective moats surrounding castles. Economic moats can be derived from various factors such as 1. Brand strength 2. High barriers to entry 3. Economies of scale 4. Network effects 5. Intellectual property rights (like patents andtrademarks), and switching costs for customers. Companies like software, Retail, Pharmaceuticals used this concept. So, how is this helpful for me in this internship? As, My role is to manage the portfolios and analyse the traditional and modern assets for investment purposes, this is very helpful for me to know the competitive advantage of the various companies in different sectors. It gives me edge over their profitability,Beta and fundamental analysis of the company. Through this I can decide where and how much to invest and align my investment objectives with this. By incorporating economic moats into analysis, it captures the long term growth opportunities. Fundsresearch #Portfolio #Internship

This week we welcomed 80 summer interns into our Capital Markets business, representing the top 1% selected from over 6,000 applicants! Some of my most valuable experiences came from my internships, shaping not only my professional life but also my personal journey.   During my first one at Arthur Andersen (at the time part of the Big 5!), I discovered two things: that public accounting wasn't for me, but that I had a passion for client management. This realization allowed me to shift full focus to business and finance. The following summer, my interest in technology and finance was sparked during my Hewlett-Packard internship, but I realized I was seeking a more entrepreneurial environment.   The final piece of the puzzle was my first job, a short run at tech start-up ReplayTV at the end of the tech boom in ‘99. This was followed by a great opportunity at a high growth start-up, Good Technology. However, I ultimately decided tech was not my passion and shifted my sights to commercial real estate. With the invaluable support of my mentors at Good Technology (thanks Danny Shader, Joel Jewitt), I wrapped up my role there and moved to Dallas to pursue CRE.   Without these formative experiences, I wouldn't have discovered my passion, and it’s why I love welcoming new interns to our program at JLL. I hope this experience helps them find their passion and shapes their future as profoundly as my internships shaped mine. #jllcapitalmarkets #internship #future #personaldevelopment #passion
