Global Macro Hedge Fund Summer Internship

Hey y'all -

Just wondering if anyone knew of any Global Macro HFs out there that have taken in the past or would be willing to take interns this summer. I'm primarily interested in bond, currency, short rate, and commodity markets - less interested in equities - w/some experience managing a personal portfolio with the aforementioned asset classes.

Background: Econ Major, Junior at Ivy League Target w/ 3.5+ GPA

Work Experience: Internship in a research role at a large, well-known Global Macro HF; Decent quantitative skills as a result of other past internships and a software development company I founded

In general, I'm just looking for an opportunity to learn more about markets and gain exposure to more senior associates.

Thanks in advance and PM if you have any questions

i work for one, but we dont have an internship program for guys doing their MBA. in fact, i think it counts against you more since MBA actually has no value in global macro.. we are probably more likely to take on an undergrad than a MBA student.

what did you do before your MBA?
