Professional development support for pursuing relevant professional qualifications (e.g., ACCA or ACA) including exam leave and financial assistance is provided. There is a clear development path with regular performance reviews and opportunities for internal advancement. You will have exposure to a diverse portfolio of international investment funds including hedge funds and private equity, and work in a collaborative environment with a supportive team culture where continuous learning and knowledge-sharing are encouraged.

Our benefits include a competitive salary with annual reviews, excellent personal health care benefits, 30 days holiday per annum, good work-life balance and supportive working hours, active sports, events and social committees across our offices, and support with mental, physical, emotional, and financial needs 24/7 from our Employee Assistance Program.
