Prefer the first one but not a big fan of the spacing in either
Other issues:
Education should be top Centralise your name You have three bullet points on whatever that head of authors thing is and two bullets on your one finance internship. Change that. Have an end date of your current internship or " - Present" Your education is a bit confusing - maybe move CFA down to leadership and other activities? Move Summer research student into work experience? "Achieved some of the highest grades" sounds a bit weird.
I like the second one better, just switch the work experience around. As well, it is best not to indicate anything as "prestigious" let the employer be the judge of that. And make sure you're talking enough about some of the better experience and less about the less impressive experiences. You seem to be too brief on some of the better experience. As well, I would take the research student portion of out educations and put it into experience. Put current first, then former, then CFA.
