Yes, I was given hands-on responsibility from day one, contributing towards client proposals and attending client meetings which enabled me to experience day-to-day investment management responsibilities

Recommendations & Advice
Would you recommend S&W to a friend?
Yes
What advice would you give to others applying to S&W
Evelyn Partners work with GAIN (Girls are Investors Network) to encourage and support more women into joining the industry. I applied through the scheme and then completed the interview process with Evelyn, and one piece of advice I have is to just be yourself!
