  St. James’s Place Wealth Management

  Aug 2021 - Aug 2021

  Onsite Work Experience with St James's Place

  During this 5-day work placement with St James's Place Establishment Division on Lombard Street I was tasked with the project of trying to get into the minds of three different groups: Sportspeople retiring, those retiring early and outplacement executives. With each, I had to find firms that provided them services in addition to creating a list of engagement ideas for which St James's Place could use to introduce themselves in a hopes to recruit them to the Partnership or the Academy. I collated my findings into a written report and presented them to the organisers of the experience. I also shadowed a few meetings and outbound calls that took place throughout the insightful week.

  'Investment Bank Sales and Trading' Simulation

  Having been very successful in the initial 'Finance Accelerator' Simulation, I was invited to take part in the more challenging 'Investment Bank Sales and Trading' Simulation. This more vigorous four-hour experience provided me a far greater insight into Investment Banking then its predecessor, adding on an extra layer of complexity through cross-trading on the platform with other participants. I was awarded a Level 4 Diploma as a result of the Simulation.
