Market Research Intern

About Thereafter

Thereafter Pte. Ltd. is an estate planning and Wills drafting company. In addition to our core work in estate planning, we are developing a media and educational content initiative focused on helping the public better understand topics surrounding personal finance, financial markets, investing, business, wealth and estate planning.

We believe that complex information should be made more understandable and accessible. Our content initiative brings together research, current affairs, financial literacy and professional insights to create educational content for a wider audience.

We are looking for intellectually curious and proactive interns who are interested in researching global developments and translating complex ideas into engaging content.

About the Internship

This is a research, media and content development internship designed for individuals who are interested in the intersection of:

• Global financial markets

• Investing and financial literacy

• Personal finance

• Business and economic developments

• Wealth and estate planning

• Research and media

• Content creation

Interns will be involved in researching publicly available information and developing educational content across multiple platforms for Thereafter's media and content initiatives.

This is not a traditional internship where you will simply be given routine administrative tasks. You will be encouraged to develop your own understanding of current developments, identify relevant stories and topics, and explore ways to communicate them meaningfully to an audience.

1. Research Global Markets & Financial Developments

Research and monitor publicly available developments relating to:

• Global financial markets

• Macroeconomic developments

• Major market and economic news

• Listed companies and industries

• Emerging sectors and business trends

• Investing concepts and financial literacy topics

Interns may be required to:

• Monitor relevant news and developments

• Conduct independent background research

• Analyse publicly available information for educational and content development purposes

• Prepare concise research briefs and market summaries

• Identify relevant themes, trends and discussion points

• Assist in translating research into audience-friendly content

2. Personal Finance & Investment Education Content

Research and develop educational content surrounding topics such as:

• Personal finance fundamentals

• Budgeting and financial literacy

• Saving and long-term financial planning concepts

• Investing concepts and financial markets

• Stocks, bonds, ETFs and other publicly discussed investment instruments

• Inflation, interest rates and other economic concepts

• Understanding financial news

• Long-term wealth and financial planning concepts

The focus is on helping audiences understand financial concepts and publicly available information, rather than providing personalised recommendations or advice.

3. Content Creation for Thereafter's Media Initiatives

Interns will play an active role in the development of Thereafter's media and educational content.

Depending on their strengths and interests, interns may be involved in creating:

• Short-form videos

• Articles and written explainers

• Social media content

• Infographics and educational visuals

• Market and news summaries

• Podcasts and interview content

• Research-based educational content

• Other media concepts and formats

Interns will be encouraged to contribute ideas and develop content concepts that can make complex subjects more interesting and accessible to the public.

4. Estate Planning & Business Succession Content

Interns will also have the opportunity to learn about and create educational content relating to:

• Wills and estate planning concepts

• Succession planning

• Probate and estate administration concepts

• Business succession and continuity

• Family and ownership considerations

• The relationship between wealth, business interests and succession

This provides interns with an opportunity to explore a multidisciplinary subject area that sits at the intersection of law, business, personal wealth and family planning.

5. Professional Exposure & Learning Opportunities

Depending on availability and suitability, selected interns may have opportunities to participate in:

• Internal learning sessions

• Educational sessions with industry professionals

• Professional discussions and knowledge-sharing sessions

• Suitable shadowing opportunities

• External learning opportunities or attachments with affiliate or partner organisations

Potential areas of professional exposure may include:

• Corporate and commercial law

• Estate planning and succession

We are looking for individuals who:

• Are currently pursuing, or have recently completed, studies in Business, Finance, Economics, Law, Communications, Media or related disciplines

• Have a genuine interest in global markets, investing, personal finance or business

• Enjoy following current affairs and economic developments

• Have good written and verbal communication skills

• Are proactive, responsible and willing to take initiative

• Are comfortable with or willing to learn video and digital content creation

• Are able to commit for a minimum of 6 months

Prior experience in content creation is beneficial but not essential. Strong curiosity, research ability and a genuine interest in learning are highly valued.

This internship is designed to provide more than conventional work experience.

Depending on your participation and the opportunities available, you may develop:

• A stronger understanding of global financial and economic developments

• Improved knowledge of personal finance and investing concepts

• Research and analytical skills

• The ability to interpret publicly available information and explain complex concepts clearly

• Experience in transforming research into written, video and social media content

• A portfolio of research and content-related work

• Exposure to estate planning, succession and business continuity concepts

• Opportunities to learn from professionals across different fields

• A better understanding of how finance, markets, business, law and media intersect

This internship is primarily a research, educational and content development programme.

Interns are not required or authorised to provide financial advice, investment advice, personalised recommendations, legal advice or legal opinions to clients or members of the public.

Research, commentary and content produced as part of the programme are intended for general educational and informational purposes. Where content discusses financial markets, investments or publicly available information, it is not intended to constitute a recommendation, solicitation or personalised advice to buy, sell or hold any financial product or investment.

Interns will work under appropriate editorial and operational supervision.

This internship is designed for individuals who want to develop the ability to research, think critically and communicate complex information.

You will have the opportunity to follow the world around you — from global market developments and investment concepts to business trends and succession planning — and explore how those ideas can be transformed into meaningful educational content.

If you are someone who enjoys asking why, reading beyond the headlines and turning what you learn into ideas that others can understand, this programme may be a good fit for you.

Application

Please submit:

• Your resume; and

• A short write-up on one financial, economic, business or estate planning topic that interests you and why.

Applicants may also submit links to relevant writing, videos, social media content or other work samples, where available.
