Work within actuarial and investment consulting. Involves a lot of training, meetings and client work such as preparing implementation statements, investment monitoring and calculating transfer values as well as the opportunity to work on long-term projects throughout the duration of the internship.

Developed my Excel skills and gained a lot of new knowledge on investment as well as the relationship between different players in the industry (consultants, investment managers, trustees, etc.)

A lot of responsibility is given to you during your internship but care is also taken to keep work at a manageable level as you learn.
