Quilter Cheviot launches Internship Programme
University degrees are not required for the programme – a policy which supports Quilter Cheviot’s ambitions to increase diversity within the industry.
Quilter Cheviot, which has recently launched its 12-month Investment Management Internship Programme, is welcoming six candidates who want to start a career in wealth management.
After receiving over 700 applications, four interns have enrolled for the programme in the firm’s London office, as well as two interns who are based in their Birmingham office, the firm said in a statement.
University degrees are not required for the programme – a policy which supports Quilter Cheviot’s ambitions to increase diversity within the industry. Instead, the interns will study for their Level 3 Chartered Institute for Securities and Investment exam over the course of the year as they rotate across different areas of the business.
The interns will be given an insight into specific areas of the business throughout the year, including teams such as research, investment risk, responsible investment, marketing, operations, front office as well as sales and distribution.
The firm thinks the programme will provide committed and talented individuals from all backgrounds with the chance to break into the wealth management industry.
Such initiatives are a sign of how wealth managers are trying to build a wider pool of talent, coming at a time when there's a need for the sector to attract young adults and handle intergenerational wealth transfer.
“Our objective is to help develop the skills, knowledge, and connections the next generation needs to succeed in this field; and to introduce fresh perspectives and diversity of thought and ideas to our business. We are excited to see what this group can bring to Quilter Cheviot and the opportunities that will arise through the likes of mentorship from our experienced team,” Andrew McGlone, chief executive at Quilter Cheviot said.
“I am delighted to welcome these ambitious individuals to our business and look forward to watching them develop over the 12-month period and, hopefully, beyond.”
