Personal and professional development opportunities
Managing the fund is an important and complex undertaking. To succeed in this, we need the best people, so we are keen to recruit and retain young talent in a range of disciplines. The graduate programme is for those looking to work in areas such as:

We offer good opportunities for personal and professional development. You will receive extensive training and be assigned both a corporate mentor and a buddy to support you in your new role.
Diversity brings the best results
Our objective is to generate the highest possible return, so we need to take the best possible decisions, have a broad outlook and be creative. The more diverse we are, the better the results we will achieve.
We are looking for talented individuals with different backgrounds and mindsets who enjoy taking chances. We are not afraid to make mistakes, because that is how we learn and improve. We welcome candidates from different academic disciplines and from different socio-economic and minority groups.
So that people thrive in our competitive, hard-working and high-performing organisation, we set great store by them having fun at work.
