Overview
Maintain close contact with the team, preparing reports and papers to present to clients. Day to day tasks include asset valuations, updates on markets, finding manager ratings and other insights.
Skills
I have developed my presentation skills, as well as analysis - both written and using excel.
Responsibilities
Yes. My team in particular was very proactive in providing tasks for me to do, allowing me to work on a wide variety of papers.
Support & Guidance
My line manager was incredibly supportive and present during my internship. I was also assigned a 'buddy', who was a recent graduate, who also provided support throughout my internship. I always felt comfortable asking questions, and knew who to turn to if I had any questions or problems. I was able to have informal chats with lots of team members, providing me with lots of valuable insights on the industry.
Culture
The culture within my team was incredibly welcoming. I took part in multiple socials and team lunches, which allowed me to integrate quickly. The atmosphere feels very relaxed and flexible.
Your Impressions
I enjoyed my internship a lot. I was able to hear more about other parts of the industry and different career paths, which I found to be incredibly helpful. The work was constant but not too overwhelming, and I feel like I was able to learn a lot in my short time at the company.
Yes
Make sure you educate yourself about the insurance industry/pensions. Be aware that if you dislike presenting, this is not the role for you.
