Gaining 12 months of industry experience, developing work-based skills and participating in opportunities to learn are the foundations to building a long-term career in the sector.
With approximately 200 trainees beginning each year, and half of those graduates from a breath of universities across the UK, the Investment20/20 programme gives a perfect combination of paid experience, skills development and networking opportunities.
Employers are keen to encourage applications from a wide range of subject backgrounds. It’s your qualities and skills that are important rather than the subject you studied.
As a graduate joining the Invesment20/20 programme you will:
- Participate in the Investment20/20 Trainee development programme, accessing learning opportunities on broad range of industry topics from sector experts
- Build your own professional network – other Trainees who are working across the whole of the Investment20/20 employer network
- Receive training and support to do your job and be confident in the role
Trainee stories
I genuinely believe that the Investment20/20 scheme is highly underrepresented. This scheme changes the lives of people who normally would be ignored, due to a lack of experience (which they seek but are rejected for not having). This scheme is amazing and I thank you for being a part of it.

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
Investment20/20 provided me with an opportunity I was staring to believe was not possible. Not only did I get my foot in the door of a fantastic industry, I did so with all the benefits that come with being part of the Investment20/20 family.
