Taimur Ali Khan '11

Funding from the MCAN allowed me to intern at StormHarbour Securities in New York over the summer. StormHarbour is a sell side investment boutique that focuses on fixed income sales and trading and in capital markets. During the span of 10 weeks, I rotated between the different sales and trading desks and then I spent a major chunk of my time working in capital markets. I really enjoyed my work in capital markets. The longest deal I was involved in was raising $175 million for a shipping company based in Dubai. I worked closely with a team of bankers from 3 investment bankers. My tasks included finding private equity investors and writing brief summaries on all of them, finding the drivers and the risk factors in the tanker industry, researching on comparable deals and making investor presentation slides. Overall, it was a great experience especially because I realized where my interests lie and what I want to do after I graduate from Carleton. I am very grateful to the MCAN board for making it possible for me to have such a rich and rewarding summer experience. Watch the video.
