We were proud to host our annual insight days for the third year running at our London head office, welcoming young adults aged between 16 and 22 and providing them with the opportunity to gain insight into the finance industry and the workings of an award-winning wealth management and corporate & institutional broking firm.
The events received overwhelmingly positive feedback from the attendees, which demonstrated the success of the event in inspiring young people to make informed decisions on their future careers in financial services.
The sessions began with a welcome from our CEO Phillip Wale, who spoke about his experiences working in the financial services industry both in the UK and in New York, and an honest assessment of what it is like to work in the City of London. Our young attendees then had the opportunity to learn more from employees from across the business working in Wealth Management, Wealth Planning, Corporate & Institutional Broking, Compliance, Human Resources and Marketing. Each session gave them the opportunity to ask questions ranging from what qualifications they would need, to what a standard day in these roles entails and what the positive and negative aspects are.
Please check back here for future work experience days in 2020.
