Overview of Experience

Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
The Insight week was filled with exciting sessions, where one had the opportunity to meet various talented people working in different divisions, including Equity Research, Fixed Income and Multi-Assets. Moreover, you get the opportunity to network with current employees whilst gaining insight into their values and, specifically, their significant focus on sustainable investing.
What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
It was really informative and helped me figure out what roles I may be interested in and how I can potentially prepare and stand out as a candidate for a role. Moreover, it gave me a great overview of how all the teams work individually and together, in order to gain successful results and create a good working environment.

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
I have definitely learnt new skills as well as improved existing ones. This I felt was quite evident when it came to my presentation and speaking skills as each day we worked with other Spring Interns on small projects and challenges, where we had to present our findings which was also very enlightening. Moreover, I also improved my networking skills.
