Only Internship I Got Was in Financial Advising

Recently got a gig as an Operations Intern for a small financial planning/wealth advising firm, but long term goal is to either go into Asset Management/Valuation.

What can I do to make the most out of this internship and learn more about Asset Management/Valuation? Is there anything specific I should ask to shadow, or projects I can do for some experience/resume building?
