Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
Summer student tasked with presenting a project on sustainable equity implementation in DC Pension Schemes and their growth strategies. Aside from project work, I was fortunate enough to undertake work on a number of client teams whereby I could get an impression of what a graduate role might look like.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
Much more responsibility than I could have expected - especially with respect to work on behalf of Hymans for clients
