Quantitative Programme
Our 2010 Quantitative Programme is now a global programme, which is a merge of the UK Quantitative Programme and the Swiss Alternative Investment Academy Programme. Graduates can apply to be based in either the UK or Switzerland, but can expect to spend time in both locations during their programme.
Our quantitative programme offers you in-depth exposure to the forefront of the alternative investment industry, through varied experience across such departments as Portfolio Construction, Product Structuring, Research, Risk Management/Due Diligence and Quantitative Analysis.
Our Quantitative Programme graduates may also have the opportunity to work in one of our Fund of Hedge Fund business or AHL, depending on their skillset and planned rotations.
The Programme
The programme includes two six-month rotations in your base country followed by one six-month rotation in one of the many offices where quantitative skills are needed. On completion, you will have gained a grounding of experience across a range of areas that will be invaluable in your future career. At this point, we will work with you to pinpoint the role that best suits your strengths and ambitions.
Your day-to-day experience
Your day-to-day experience will largely depend on your current placement, as each one is different. The programme is broad-based, and is designed to give you a thorough overview of the business operations before you start to specialise.
On your various placements, you can think of yourself as a full member of the team – encouraged and expected to make a big contribution to the daily performance. This could involve anything from writing internal research papers, analysing investment products or writing programming code to driving forward innovative business-change projects that add real value to the business.
