Overview
Coordinating investment deals with clients, data handling, ESG reporting, chairing client meetings
Skills
Yes, I strengthened my communication skills, expanded my knowledge of the asset management industry and gained confidence over the course of the internship. We had the opportunity to present to senior colleagues and had great exposure to leaders within the firm.
Responsibilities
Yes, we were given lots of responsibility. I could clearly see how the work I was carrying out was contributing to the wider team. I felt like my role had real purpose, and for me it was really important to feel a part of the team.
Support & Guidance
Lots of support and guidance. abrdn provides a buddy scheme, you have scheduled 1-1 meetings with your line manager. The graduate cohort is also encouraged to come together weekly through a range of development activities to provide peer support.
Culture
Company culture was great. The exposure of early careers in abrdn is great. Senior colleagues want to help out and watch new colleagues grow and develop in the industry. abrdn is a friendly organisation who pride themselves on developing their people.
Your Impressions
I thoroughly enjoyed my internship over the 10 weeks - so much so that I accepted a role onto the graduate scheme starting in September 2022. Now, two months in, I am continuing to learn and develop in my role. I am so grateful to have had this incredible internship opportunity.
Yes
Do your research. Be yourself. Show you are passionate about the industry and want to be in an environment that positively challenges you and pushes you to be the best version of yourself.
