About You

The successful candidate will have an outstanding academic record and a real passion for financial markets. Extensive experience is not required, and relevant internships are welcome. Above all, the team is looking for curiosity, a willingness to ask good questions and the confidence to put forward ideas among a group of very bright people.

There is no single profile for this role. You might be a recent graduate who has spent your spare time following markets, or you might have a year or two of experience and be keen to move into a focused investment team. What matters most is genuine interest and the drive to learn quickly.

Due to the increased number of applications for this role, we may only respond to candidates whose experience most closely matches the criteria.
