Your role at a glance

Whether you are working in LGRI to provide innovative investment solutions for new pension risk transfer deals, or working in LGC to deploy capital in sectors where there is a lack of investment – no one day will ever be the same in this exciting and ever-changing business. Your responsibilities will not only be broad and diverse, but they will be impactful, socially useful and make a difference, giving you the chance to experience different roles first-hand via rotations across these two businesses.

The graduate programme is all about giving you the fundamental experience to help you build a core skill set to excel in the world of investment management. Your first two years will see you rotate through two different business divisions, develop your professional network and expand your quantitative and qualitative skills. You’ll have the opportunity to gain professional accreditation through completion of CFA Level 1 (optional) and by the time you reach the end of the programme, we hope that you will have built a clearer picture of where your interests and experience can take you within our businesses.
