You could potentially have rotations within Fund Data Management, Retirement Benefits Team – Pensions, Re-Regulations and Transfers –Self-Invested Personal Pension (SIPP), Workplace Investing (WI) or Personal Investing (PI), Brokerage or the Anti-Money Laundering team.

Presentation
At the end of your eight week programme, you’ll present a review of your time with Fidelity and answer questions which will contribute towards the potential of a graduate offer for 2019.

What we look for

We look for intelligent, quick-thinking students with a keen interest in the industry. For that reason, we take on people from all degree disciplines.

Continuous Improvement
You will be highly driven with intellectual curiosity and an interest in serving the best interests of our clients. You’ll have the analytical skills to grasp processes and procedures and the intellectual capacity to identify improvements.

Build Networks
So much of what we do involves people, relationship building is therefore key as you move through the business. We look for people who are able to work comfortably on their own but also work collaboratively with others through a variety of communications tools, time-zones and cultures.

2:1 or above
You will be graduating in 2019 and you will have a minimum of three C’s at A level or equivalent and be on track for at least a 2:1 degree (or equivalent).

Learning and development

Unlike other firms that hire on a volume basis, we take on a select number of interns. Your input over the eight weeks will be highly valued here as we welcome you in to gain some real experience in a leading Investment Management organisation.

Induction
We don’t expect you to come straight in and know everything about what we do. You’ll start the internship with an induction, during which we’ll introduce you to asset management and how it fits into the City, as well as to the broader financial markets.

Lunch and learns
There are many ways to develop your skills as your internship progresses. A series of ‘lunch and learns’ hosted by key business speakers from Sales and Marketing, Equity Research, Technology, Eight Roads (our venture capital business) and Distribution Operations will give you a first-hand, genuine insight into the full scope of each of our businesses.

Salary and benefits
We invest a lot of time and resource into our internship students, ensuring you receive a really strong remuneration package for your eight weeks with us. You will receive a pro rata annual salary of £28,000. You also have four days’ annual leave entitlement over the eight weeks.
