'DEVELOPING EXCELLENCE'
SUMMER INTERNSHIP PROGRAM
Wharton Gladden offers current undergraduate and graduate students from top universities the opportunity to gain investment banking training and experience through an interoffice and unpaid field study program during the summer. Students invest their time in exchange for training in analytical techniques used by leading investment banking firms and hands on experience applying these skills. If a prospective transaction comes under engagement during the course of the study program, the student may receive the option to work on a live transaction. In addition, students will engage in a unique career development program through not only job shadowing and mentorship with internal team members, but they will also have a special opportunity to connect with external corporate leaders participating in the summer program.
LIFESTYLE
Wharton Gladden is seeking motivated, entrepreneurial professionals with robust contacts. The professional leverages the proven Wharton Gladden process. High producing individuals will earn strong rewards - financially and personally - accompanied by a progressive career with partnership potential. Our culture and unique focus on client relationships attract professionals in search of a lifestyle - not a job.
PARTNER
There is a fundamental difference between investment bankers and commercial or personal bankers. As an investment banker, our Directors are in a position to help their clients develop the most optimal capital structure to fund projects, which often require a blend of debt and equity. Through our growing network of financial institutions, every Director will have active debt or equity capital sources to satisfy their client’s needs.
RELATIONSHIPS
We are a boutique firm and deeply proud of the vast relationships that enable us to be successful with our client engagements. Over the years we developed strong bonds with real estate developers / operators, investors, business owners, and professionals. We consistently demonstrate our appreciation for these key relationships through fellowship, gestures of thoughtfulness and learning from one another.
