Overview of Experience

Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
We did intro sessions on the first day. For Makets Division, we participated in a trading simulation on Tuesday where we experienced the role of asset managers and investment bankers. On the last two day, we did exciting desk shadowing and product sessions.
What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
It was an exciting experience that broadened my perspective. Through the product session, I discovered a particular interest in Rates, MQA, and Securitisation. It helped me gain clarity on my career path and where my interests lie.

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
I gained a lot of knowledge about the roles of buy-side and sell-side traders—for example, how to set a reasonable bid and offer price. Moreover, through the networking sessions, I’ve become more comfortable and confident when speaking with others.
