Communications Internship

The Role

You can be part of a leading, client-committed, global Asset Manager, making an impact on individuals, communities, and the world.

Today, markets still face a whole new set of pressures but also a whole lot of opportunity too. Opportunity to innovate differently.

Opportunity to invest responsibly. And opportunity to make change. This is needed more than ever as we currently experience high interest rates, a once-in-a-lifetime health crisis, a shift in global demographics and politics as well as advances in digitalization and economies moving towards a more sustainable future.

While there is always uncertainty in markets, one thing remains clear : there is always a new situation that requires the right investment answers. We call it the new now.

About the Internship

The Internship is an opportunity to gain a wide range of practical experience. Individual projects, participation in speaker sessions and networking events will all be part of the internship.

Whilst you can expect a high learning curve from our internship, you will benefit from the support of your managers and mentors along with unparalleled exposure to the world of Asset Management.

This internship is an ideal way to determine whether a career in Financial Services & Asset Management meets your personal aspirations.

Subject to performance, successful interns may be offered a place on the Graduate program the following year.
