Fidelity International offers investment solutions and retirement expertise and are a privately owned, independent company. They invest USD $272 billion globally on behalf of clients in Asia-Pacific, Europe, the Middle East, and South America. Their clients range from pension funds, central banks, sovereign wealth funds, large corporates, financial institutions, insurers and wealth managers, to private individuals.

As a business apprentice, you will gain in depth exposure to various departments that each play a key role in how the Fidelity business runs. Recent apprentices have processed global trades and priced up shares and bonds held on behalf of investors. You will be working at offices in Hildenborough, Kent or Kingswood Fields, Surrey.

What you’ll be doing

Running between 18 months and 3 years, depending on the qualification you’ll be working towards, the Business Apprenticeship will give you an idea of exactly what it takes to support a leading fund management organisation. Working with business partners across the organisation, you will learn how Fidelity fits into the wider Financial Services industry and will gain an excellent understanding of both the department and the wider business.

Qualifications

You will be enrolled in industry-recognised, professional qualifications such as the Investment Operations Certificate (IOC) or Investment Management Certificate (IMC) to support your development and career goals.

What are they looking for?

They are looking for bright, curious problem solvers with a creative and innovative eye, who have drive and impact. You will need to have GCSEs in Maths and English, but they accept applications from A Level and BTEC students too, no matter what your grades. You donÕt need to have studied Business or IT, as long as you have the right attitude and thinking skills you need to look at things differently. To make the most of this opportunity you will need to demonstrate a passion for the world of business plus you will need to be open to learning new things and demonstrate great verbal and written communication skills.
