Investment Management

Graduate Schemes

Opportunities are available within firms that deal with private clients who offer wealth management services and those dealing with institutional clients who offer investment or asset management services. Roles include investment analysis, finance, marketing, research, client management and other more back office functions such as compliance. Investment Management firms operate differently to many other more classic businesses so gaining an insight into the working environment would be very valuable for those interested in this career option.

Be aware that the majority of investment and wealth management firms require you to complete online tests. You have to pass these before they even look at your application. Its therefore critical that you practice before hand. You will greatly increase your chances of success.
