Your options and career development
Global Asset Management
Global Asset Management provides trusted, high-calibre investment solutions to institutions, financial intermediaries and individual investors across the globe. On top of our track record in developed economies, we are arguably the largest asset manager in emerging markets.
Far-reaching work
Fund management is a core element of what we do, and what you could get involved in here. We also have sales, marketing and product functions that conduct influential and far-reaching work, offering you a range of long-term career choices that few can match.
Ahead of the regulations
As a result of the global financial crisis, the regulatory requirements the market now faces are much more strict. But this counts in our favour as demands for more transparency and simplicity play to our strengths. Customer protection and ethical business practices have always been fundamental parts of our culture.
Following an in-depth six-week induction, you will join an 18-month development programme. It is designed to give you a deep insight into how we create, manage and distribute investment products. You will also gain invaluable sales and client relationship management experience, plus all-round exposure to one of the financial services industry's most dynamic sectors. Throughout the programme you will study for the Investment Management Certificate, and be encouraged to study for further qualifications such as the Chartered Financial Analyst Qualification.
The programme consists of three six-month rotations across our diverse business areas and teams:
- Sales and marketing
- Product development
- Investment portfolio management
This is a very connected environment. You will be free to take responsibility for important work, your ideas will be listened to and acted on. We expect people to be ambitious and adaptable, as well as bright. If you are, you will be supported and trained to rise rapidly.
The HSBC Summer Analyst Programme lasts for 10 weeks and is designed for ambitious penultimate year university students. This is a non-rotational programme taking place predominantly in our main hubs: London, New York, Hong Kong and Dubai. Our extensive range of opportunities covers all areas of Global Banking, Global Markets, Global Research, all areas of Global Infrastructure, HTS GBM Technology, Global Asset Management and Global Private Banking.
Whichever discipline you choose, the programme will act as a comprehensive introduction to that area of the Bank. Your programme will provide you with the platform to be considered for our full-time Global Businesses Analyst Programme (GBAP). You will have the opportunity to show your genuine potential and develop the behaviours, skills and experience essential to enjoy a long-term career with us at HSBC.
The programme will comprise hands-on experience, excellent technical, behavioural and IT skills training and the opportunity to form very important networks with peers and business leaders alike. Just as importantly, each programme will act as an introduction to the culture and values of HSBC.
Taking all of these elements collectively, the HSBC Summer Analyst programme acts as an extended ‘assessment centre’ for people looking to join HSBC as a Full-Time Analyst once they finish university.
