Their Approach to Development

The course is designed to give the right applicants the necessary tools and support to start their career in international wealth management & fintech. However, as with most things in life, the onus is on the individual to seize the opportunity.

The Trainee Development Program is designed to provide the right individual with an introduction into the business. As the industry changes and becomes increasingly tech-driven, the skillsets they require change with it. Our client therefore increasingly seeks those with an interest in or an appetite to learn about tech-driven financial solutions.

In your first year, you will embark on a comprehensive journey within their academy, gaining valuable experience and knowledge in financial planning. You will learn about the client journey, report writing, various types of analysis, and how to effectively utilize our tools and processes. After completing your first year, you will have the opportunity to specialize your development toward becoming a Financial Planner. They will also support you in pursuing any additional exams while offering ongoing development to advance your career.

Your future is more important than your past. Whilst they do not discount the value of a solid education and past career experience, they search first and foremost for the right attitude, a growth mindset, and a burning desire to succeed. They care far more about your potential than your background. They will provide you with the tools; it’s up to you how you use them.
