You will be placed within a team best aligned to your skills and will be provided with ongoing classroom as well as on-the-job training designed to help you develop a thorough understanding of the business throughout the duration of the programme. Supervision and guidance will be provided by experienced Operations professionals to all Full-Time Analysts throughout the programme, to ensure Analysts have full support throughout their critical development years as an Operations professional.
Analysts join in August. The programme runs for a duration of 3 years, at which point Analysts would typically progress to an Associate role within the Firm.
Training Programme
Full-Time Analysts start their programme with an Induction Day, followed by an intensive Core Training Program covering topics across products, policies and risk, soft skills and technical skills. Analysts will also have exposure to guest lecturers, career development sessions, social and networking sessions. Teambuilding activities and project work will also be included to further strengthen technical understanding as well as soft skills.
Throughout the programme, Analysts will receive thorough on-the-job training, continued classroom and online based training, as well as ongoing mentorship and guidance from mentors and designated Officers.
