Why are women missing out on graduate roles in investment management? Our Path to Parity report revealed a striking stat: while women secure more internships, men are twice as likely to land graduate roles. Why is this? It’s not about talent - it’s about awareness and confidence. Many brilliant women don’t even consider investment management as a career. And when they do, research shows they often hesitate to apply unless they tick every box - unlike men who go for it with just 60% of the criteria. Employers tell us they want candidates who show curiosity, technical skills, and passion for markets. So if you’re keen to break into the industry, back yourself. Apply, speak up, and build the skills you need. Our resource library is packed with tools to help you upskill and shine - from financial modelling to tangible ways to demonstrate your curiosity and passion. Plus, we’ve got tips on how to stand out in the application and interview process.
