Roberts & Ryan, Inc., America’s first Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned (SDVO) broker-dealer, has announced the expansion of its summer internship program. The initiative, which recently accepted 13 candidates from diverse backgrounds, underscores the company's commitment to supporting both veterans and underprivileged youth.
"At Roberts & Ryan, we believe that supporting future generations of financial professionals is important to the long-term success of our industry. This year’s internship class was bolstered by our relationship with the Boys & Girls Club of Harlem, who recommended two exceptional candidates, creating more opportunities for diverse talent in the financial services industry," said Brian Rathjen, President of Roberts & Ryan.
In 2023, seven interns completed Roberts & Ryan's program. Due to increased demand, the firm nearly doubled the number of interns in 2024. The company runs two internship cohorts annually, providing students with real-world experience in various aspects of the financial services industry. Interns work alongside seasoned professionals on projects that cover services such as secondary equity and fixed income trading, debt and equity capital markets, business development, compliance, and marketing. A significant highlight for summer interns is access to the iconic trading floor of the New York Stock Exchange, following Roberts & Ryan's recent approval for membership.
"Breaking into the financial services industry can be a challenge, as most entry-level positions require either previous work experience or a professional connection with someone in the industry. We believe that our program provides our interns with both," said Edward D’Alessandro, Chief Executive Officer of Roberts & Ryan.
Roberts & Ryan is dedicated to increasing access to opportunities in the financial sector by sourcing high-quality candidates for their internship program. The program helps interns gain valuable experience, forge important connections, and build a robust talent stack for a successful career in finance.
Founded in 1987 by a United States Marine Corps Vietnam combat veteran and Purple Heart recipient, Roberts & Ryan, Inc. is a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned broker-dealer with execution capabilities in the capital markets, equities, and fixed-income trading. The firm is also noted for its philanthropic efforts, with over $2 million committed to charitable foundations that benefit veterans and their families, focusing on general wellness, mental health, and career transition.
