If you haven’t heard about NFU Mutual, we’d like to introduce ourselves. With some 3,500 people and a turnover of over £1.5 billion, we’re standing firm as one of the UK’s most successful insurance and financial services providers. £10.5 billion of our assets are held in the stock market, and managing these funds well is vital to our success. Which is where our Fund Management department comes in, keeping us in the stable position we’re renowned for. If you’re a go-getting graduate, looking to find your career in Fund Management, we think we’ve got the opportunity for you.
To start with, you’ll research individual stocks and produce fund reports. As your skills and time develop with us, so will your responsibilities. We’ll have you advising on investment opportunities – a breeze with your communication skills – through all levels of the business. You’ll also find yourself researching economies and companies and attending conferences, looking to make the most of investment opportunities. Plenty of training will be provided on-the-job, including an established training programme during which you’ll be mentored throughout. As a matter of fact, you couldn’t be better supported – and after you’ve completed your studies, you’ll have all you need to become a success and pass the Chartered Financial Analyst exams.
Most importantly, you’ll have a First Class honours degree with significant mathematical content, and also good A-Levels. Add this to your infectious enthusiasm, team spirit, excellent eye for detail and willingness to learn, and it equates to someone we want to hear from.
The limits really are endless here, and we’ll provide everything to make you feel right at home – from financial support as you achieve your CFA status, to our range of benefits including an attractive incentive scheme and contributory pension. And let’s not forget our stunning rural offices set in historic Stratford-upon-Avon, boasting sports facilities including a swimming pool and tennis courts. So, both professionally and personally, you’ll find yourself in the best of both worlds.
