[Message from Natixis CIB Global Markets Institute]
Following the success of last year’s Investment Strategy Challenge, as well as the positive feedback from the GMI Insight Day 2024, Natixis CIB is pleased to announce the return of the Global Markets Institute. The Institute aims at educating young talent, paving the way for their entry into the financial services industry, and promoting collaboration between our company, young talent, and the local community.
This year’s competition format will be an Investment Strategy Challenge and we would like to invite students at the University of Hong Kong to join this initiative.
This challenge provides an opportunity for students from diverse backgrounds to work in teams to discover Global Markets and connect with industry professionals.

The winning students will be fast-tracked for Natixis CIB’s 2026 Global Markets Summer Internship positions.
