2015 Asset Management / Trading Graduate Programs

Hi Guys,

I have a face to face interview with SLI in their Edinburgh office for the investment risk trainee.

Can anyone shed light on the interview process please ?

I heard back on Monday.

Hi, I'm a first year and I have an interview with a Hedge Fund/Alternative Asset Management Firm on the 31st for the summer. I have no experience of any sort with the HF/AM recruitment process, so what should I do to prepare? Or sort of questions I should be focusing on? Thanks in advance.

Wow! Congrats man! What are you studying and at which uni out of interest - not many first years get hedge fund internships as far as i know!

If it is a telephone interview, it will probably be competency based ie leadership / teamwork / a bit about yourself and why you match the criteria etc Look up the M&I competency interview guidelines - that'll help you out a lot especially if this is your first experience of an internship interview!

Don't congratulate me just yet, I haven't got the job . Economics at Cambridge.

It's in person ... Not my first interview experience but my first for HF/AM and I heard they differ a lot to say banking for example.

Anybody had a phone interview for Allianz global investors and got any tips/questions that were asked?

I had one a few weeks back:

Questions were focused on my motivation for AllianzGI + Investment Management, background/experience during Uni and a couple of standard competency questions. One which I specifically remember was 'Tell me when you've shown integrity'.

I would also ensure you are clear why you want to work in asset management and be aware of issues the industry is currently facing.


Good Luck!

Thanks for the info. So no stock pitches or where would you invest or how did the S&P do last year type of questions?

Did anyone hear back from Standard Life Investments - Equities Graduate Programme?

anyone had or about to have a telephone interview with Insight Investment for the investment grad role? would greatly appreciate any feedback.

thanks

Just got rejection from BR for my first division, seems they just reject the first one and my second division (quantitative risk) still under consideration...
