Quilter Cheviot has welcomed six interns to its investment management internship programme.
The firm has enrolled four interns onto the 12-month programme at its London office and two at its Birmingham office, after more than 700 individuals applied to the new programme.
Interns were not required to have a university degree and will work towards a Level 3 qualification from the Chartered Institute for Securities and Investment.
Over the course of the year, they will work in different areas of the business including research, responsible investment and marketing.
Chief executive Andrew McGlone said: “Having joined this business as a trainee nearly 30 years ago, I am particularly pleased to introduce our investment management intern programme, which will provide committed and talented individuals from all backgrounds with the chance to break into the wealth management industry.
“Our objective is to help develop the skills, knowledge, and connections the next generation needs to succeed in this field; and to introduce fresh perspectives and diversity of thought and ideas to our business.
“We are excited to see what this group can bring to Quilter Cheviot and the opportunities that will arise through the likes of mentorship from our experienced team.”
Through the launch of the internship programme, Quilter Cheviot wants to create job opportunities for the next generation of wealth management talent, by providing industry expertise, support, guidance, and an in-depth experience of working within the investment management industry.
