Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.

My role was to help provide investment servicing and advice covering markets and strategic considerations, such as managing assets and liabilities. As part of my day to day, I would help to create key documents for clients, and also attend calls and make notes. I had the change to attend webinars to expand my knowledge surrounding the markets and upcoming trends. I also helped to change reporting styles internally.

Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?

Yes, I was asked to help on many documents and pitches. However, given that my role was very junior, I didn't get to partake in any client interactions.

Support and Guidance

How much support and guidance did you receive during your placement / internship?

I received a lot of support and guidance. The whole firm is incredibly willing to help and give guidance. In particular, there was a buddy scheme, so I was able to work with a graduate on my team throughout the internship. This was incredibly useful.
