You’ll get to:

• coordinate and facilitate client related items seeking to deliver a best in class client experience, using innovative approaches to identify client needs
• generate performance and risk reports
• build an understanding of our industry, culture, and strategy.

Your team

You’ll be working in one of the largest hedge funds and real estate investment managers in the world, one of the leading fund houses in Europe, and the largest mutual fund manager in Switzerland.

Your expertise

We’re looking for a candidate who:

• has values that align with ours: hard-working, trustworthy, dedicated and collaborative
• is motivated to work in a business with high demands and tight deadlines
• can evidence how experimental and responsible use of AI can improve outcomes and efficiency.

We’re looking for someone who’s curious and wants to thrive in a business that never stops moving. You do need to have an interest in asset management and the financial industry. We’re keen to see what makes you unique and discover what you can bring to our team.

Perhaps you’ve organized a fundraising event or taken part in team sports? Or stepped out of your comfort zone to learn about a subject you found challenging? Let us know how your achievements match the skills we’re after.

Your program

This apprenticeship will last 4 years. You’ll work with our experts and learn about the industry, our clients and our firm. You’ll be right at the heart of our business, learning from your colleagues, taking part in day-to-day operations.

The first stage of your apprenticeship is a Level 4 Investment Operations Specialist, and upon completion, you’ll then progress onto a Level 6 Financial Services Professional apprenticeship. In the final stage of your apprenticeship, you can obtain your Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) 1, with the potential to gain a BSc (Honors) degree.

You’ll have plenty of opportunities to develop new skills and make contacts along the way. If you like challenges, enjoy learning and want to work where no two days are the same, this program is for you.
