My current role entails working closely with portfolio managers and technical specialists to help our clients identify and prioritise financial goals and provide bespoke financial planning solutions.
I have been fortunate to have great managers who care about my success and invest in my development. The programme allowed me to find a role that is best-suited to my skillset.
