Should I intern at Guggenheim even if the position is Central Compliance and not really related to the field I am interested in, which is investment banking?

I am a freshman at the University of Michigan Ross. I saw an internship opportunity at an investment bank called Guggenheim Partners. However, the position isn't really fulfilling but more so, about social responsibility and central compliance. It is not about investment banking. Should I still apply so I can have that prestige and name on my resume?
