What makes us stand out as a Graduate Employer?

We believe that our training programme is one of the best offered to graduates today and differs from other firms in several ways. For most business areas, our programme is not rotational; you are recruited into a specific role with responsibility from the start. You have a real job from day 1, which will be combined with a fully comprehensive training programme. Together with your graduate peers, you will join a technical training programme which introduces you to all aspects of the Investment Management business in preparation to do the Investment Management Certificate Exam, and prepare you for the CFA. You will also be given special research projects during training to stimulate your mind and allow you to show initiative from the beginning of your career

Now it doesn’t stop there! After you complete your initial training you will then go onto a career specific training programme that will last anything from 1-3 years and involves gaining professional qualifications such as the CFA for Investment, Distribution and IT or CIMA for our Finance/Accountancy graduates.
