Aon Graduate Programme - Investment Consulting 2026 in Leeds

At Aon, we shape decisions for the better to protect and enrich the lives of people around the world. As an organisation, we are united through trust as one inclusive, diverse team, and we are passionate about helping our colleagues and clients succeed.

We’re hiring! Join Aon’s Investment Consulting graduate programme and step into life as a valued member of our elite team of experts. Our consultants have been advising employers and governments on their pension schemes and other wealth — totalling around $4 trillion — for over 60 years.

Aon graduates join several specialist teams focused on consulting with our clients on everything from setting investment strategies and selecting investment managers, to consulting on all aspects of environmental, social and governance; or working with pension scheme trustees to implement their long-term strategies efficiently and target better outcomes.

Your role as an Investment Consulting Graduate involves:

• Advising clients on setting investment strategies and selection of investment managers.
• Providing investment consulting services and advice covering markets and strategic considerations.
• Managing assets (for both the DB and DC Client Groups) and liabilities (for the DB Client Group only).

You’ll gain early experience of dealing with a wide range of investments, adapting them around economic conditions and outlooks. In the DB Client Group, you’ll learn how and why pension scheme liabilities change because of economic assumptions – such as inflation, interest rates and the effect that market movements have on invested assets. In the DC Client Group, you’ll learn about the DC pension vehicles, applicable regulatory and legislative rules and main asset classes and investment theory relating specifically to a DC pension scheme.

Whether you’re interested in building client relationships, developing your analytical skills or leveraging new technologies, you’ll be welcomed into a supportive and actively inclusive environment, deliberately designed for you to learn and grow. As an Aon graduate, each day is an opportunity to develop new skills and help shape the future of our industry.

What are we looking for?

• Motivation and ambition to pursue a career in Investment Consulting.
• Excellent consulting skills with a client-focused outlook.
• Passion and curiosity – we are looking for candidates who want to understand what we do and are eager to learn more.
• Commercial awareness – this helps us to provide support and advice to our clients with clarity and confidence.

Your Development as An Aon Graduate includes:

• Business learning through on-the-job experiences.
• Centralised learning including Aon Induction, monthly webinars, business skills training and workshops.
• Support for professional qualifications such as the Investment Management Certificate (IMC), Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA), or Institute and Faculty of Actuaries (IFoA).

Once you’ve completed the formal graduate programme, you’ll continue to receive support at Aon, including continued technical and business skills training, regular performance feedback, and support for your Actuarial or CFA qualifications.

Entry Requirements include being on track to achieve a 2:1 degree (or equivalent) in any degree subject.

Locations include opportunities in Bristol and London. We recognise the value for our Early Career colleagues of being in the office environment from the beginning of their programme. As a new graduate, you will spend the first 6 months based in the office to support your learning, development, and progression.

How we support our colleagues includes a comprehensive benefits package and an agile, inclusive environment that allows you to manage your wellbeing and work/life balance. All colleagues enjoy two “Global Wellbeing Days” each year.
