What made you apply for a Hayfin internship?
I first discovered Hayfin through an SEO London masterclass, where I learned about the recent growth of the private credit industry and gained insights into Hayfin’s approach to evaluating lending opportunities through its due diligence process. Since then, I became interested in the industry and businesses receiving finance through private credit. I was also drawn to healthcare finance, as lending to medical firms enables them to innovate and develop products that have the potential to improve millions of lives worldwide.
What is your typical day to day?
My day-to-day responsibilities included working on potential loan positions to present to the business selection and investment committees. I worked with the Healthcare team to analyse investment theses and risks, incorporate financial models and summarise findings in an investment memo. It was always fascinating to hear the committees’ perspectives on projects I had contributed to.
Hayfin also hosted regular masterclasses where investment professionals across all divisions (such as special situations, partners solutions and direct lending) shared their experiences. It was especially inspiring to hear the journey of how Hayfin was founded!
Biggest take-away from internship experience?
The learning curve since I started at Hayfin has been immense. By working with Hayfin’s Healthcare team, I feel I’ve learnt years’ worth of both private credit and healthcare knowledge within just two months! The tangible aspect of working on investment memos, financial models and attending business selection / investment committee meetings has helped me to develop my research and analytical skills.
No two days are the same at Hayfin, and I am incredibly grateful to the team for involving me in several exciting projects and deals!
