Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
Depends on the rotation but largely shadowing those around me, including my manager. Personally, I had two presentations to work on throughout - my intern presentation and a nature-finance related CIO presentation.
Much of my work therefore revolved around creating pitch decks for my presentation. In order to attain the relevant information, I would also schedule meetings with various people from different teams and expand my network.

Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
I was certainly given a degree of responsibility, such as the Intern Presentation. However, I feel as though this might be somewhere that can be improved upon. Giving interns more responsibility, more daily tasks, and more deadlines might increase the intensity and stressfulness of the scheme, but I believe it is worthwhile given the benefits that would be reaped in terms of improved knowledge, skills, and competency.

Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills, or developed your existing skills?
Yes. I've become significantly more competent and confident in my PowerPoint and Excel capabilities. Moreover, being in the environment that I was, I was forced to expand my knowledge and understanding of financial markets, specifically how they impact existing and potential clients of the private bank.
