IFC Equity Mobilization Department (AMC), within the Treasury & Syndications Vice President Unit (VPU), mobilizes and manages capital for private equity investments in emerging markets. AMC was created in 2009 to provide investors with access to IFCโs emerging markets investment pipeline and to expand the supply of long-term capital to these markets, enhancing IFCโs development goals and generating profits for investors by leveraging IFCโs global reach, standards, investment approach, and track record. AMC has raised US$10.2 billion through 13 investment funds that invest across a variety of sectors, geographies, and strategies. Please see AMCโs website at www.ifcamc.org for more information on AMCโs business.
AMC runs a competitive and rewarding Analyst Program for between 4 and 6 Analysts each year. The Analyst Program seeks to hire individuals with 2-3 years of relevant experience in investment banking, consulting, or private equity and provides a platform for further personal and professional development prior to business school. Selected analysts will gain firsthand experience working and investing in emerging markets and will have the opportunity to work across various sectors and geographies.
