    Overview

  • 1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
  • I started my internship or placement with an induction and technical training programme. I am be a key member of our dedicated team, playing a vital, hands-on role in giving their global clients the support they need. This involves providing investment servicing and advice covering markets and strategic considerations, such as managing assets and liabilities. I have gained early experience of dealing with a wide range of investments, adapting them around economic conditions and outlooks. I have also learnt how and why pension scheme liabilities change because of economic assumptions — such as inflation, interest rates and the effect that market movements have on invested assets.
