Investment Practice

Our investment practice analyses the investments that finance the future pension payments for our clients’ employees. The practice is smaller than our pensions practice, but still includes around 200 people.
The vast majority of work is in London where the practice is as large as our pensions practice. There are smaller teams in each of other five UK consulting offices, and each would provide a role for the right graduate.
The work involves analysis of the past: investment market returns; returns achieved by specific investment managers; and the theories and practices adopted by those investment management companies.
This information needs to be assessed: is the information credible; is there something unusual about the past compared to the future; and how material is it for the purpose of the assessment?
Our consultants can then help our clients predict the size and timing of the future investment income, compare this with predicted future pension payments and determine the precise investments that will best support those future pension payments.
We will be offering roles in our investment practice to a further 5 to 10 skilled and motivated graduates.
Our Consultant Development team is the starting point for our graduates looking to specialise in providing investment advice. Some will focus on technical research while others will support consultants advising clients, whilst they develop the skills and specialisms that will ensure a successful career.
You will work very closely with our consultants who will help you develop your own consulting style and introduce you to the clients they advise.
