Intern - Analyst Equity Capital Markets Syndicate

ING’s Equity Capital Markets Syndicate team has a vacant Analyst position.

The team

Equity Capital Markets (ECM) is a joint venture between ING’s Corporate Finance and Global Capital Markets departments, both part of the Capital Markets and Advisory division within ING Wholesale Banking. The team advises companies on equity capital raising on international stock markets. Through a coordinated approach, we combine expertise on all aspects of strategic advisory to our corporate clients. Products covered by ECM include Initial Public Offerings (IPOs), technical listings, follow-on equity issuances, secondary offerings, share buybacks, preference shares issuances and equity-linked transactions.

Our team has a strong track record of advising public and private companies, financial sponsors and governments in structuring and executing a wide variety of equity and equity-linked transactions, evidenced by our recent involvement in the blockbuster IPOs of CVC and Galderma, complex dual listing of Ferrovial, tender offer transaction of Exor, sell-down trade in Vår Energi shares, and many more. We work closely with our Financial Markets teams (i.e. Equity Research, Equity Sales, Equity Sales Trading, Corporate Access, and more) and together with these colleagues we originate, structure, execute and distribute equity and equity-linked instruments to institutional investors and retail investors.
