Trainee stories
The support provided by Investment20/20 in the first year of working was invaluable to shaping my career today. The numerous educational events, career advice and networking opportunities are truly important and I would recommend anyone on the programme or thinking about joining the programme to make the most of these opportunities. The yearly cohorts are a fantastic way for young people joining the investment management industry to meet and make genuine friendships in the City and beyond.

Trainee stories
Without Investment20/20, I wouldn’t have been able to gain the experience that has been the foundation for my career. The initiative has been a successful catalyst for myself. Providing equal opportunities, no matter the background, for exciting roles within the investment management industry. Not only the opportunities within the partnering firms but the events that Investment20/20 provide has been so valuable. Years on from being a trainee I continue to reap dividends from the established network Investment20/20 supports.
