At Royal London we want to attract the best talent to help us achieve our vision of becoming the most trusted and recommend financial company in the UK. Our family has grown a fair bit since 1861, and as a result, today we have one Royal London Group that is made up of six specialist areas.

Royal London Asset Management (RLAM) was established in 1988 and is a leading asset management company, investing across all major asset classes. RLAM is a wholly owned and central part of the Royal London Group. We offer a range of investment options and manage £123.4 billion of assets (as at 31.03.2019) across the major asset classes. Our priority is delivering excellent investment performance for those who trust us with their assets. We put our customers at the heart of all we do.

Royal London Asset Management (RLAM) is looking for graduates and recent graduates with a track record of the highest academic achievement to join its successful and growing Equities Team.

Formal finance, economic or business backgrounds are not necessary – we provide training – instead we are looking for two key things. Firstly, colleagues with an interest in using frameworks, differentiated ways of thinking and thoughtful reasoning so as to generate advantaged insights. Secondly, an interest in how businesses work, influence the world and can be successful.

The RLAM Equity Team invests £40bn on behalf of a range of clients including pensions, charities, individuals, financial advisers and insurance companies. RLAM was established in 1988 and is a pre-eminent asset management company, investing over £120bn across all major asset classes. Our priority is delivering excellent investment performance as a most trusted and most recommended asset manager.

What will you be doing

Fundamental analysis in line with the RLAM Equities investment process. This will involve supporting investment teams by conducting company, sector analysis, considering Environmental, Social and Governance factors, attending company meetings and travelling to industry wide conferences all with the goal of delivering genuine insight to drive investment performance.

Maintaining and developing wider systems and infrastructure to enhance the RLAM Equities capability. Key areas of focus include the RLAM equity research database and proprietary quantitative screens/tools.

Additional responsibilities include ad hoc investment research projects, data management and administrative tasks to support the investment process and portfolio managers.

New joiners have the longer term potential to become either a highly capable equities analyst to support investment idea generation, or a portfolio manager capable of contributing to the management of equity portfolios or a knowledgeable investor able to support data science and proprietary technology systems used by the team.

What we’re looking for

  • Outstanding academic qualifications at Bachelors’ degree or above
  • Energy, drive and a passion for learning
  • An inquisitive mind set and self-starting mentality
  • Experience synthesising large volumes of information, considering its materiality and generating insight
  • A desire to work hard in a collegiate environment where there are significant opportunities for personal development.
  • A demonstrable interest in business, entrepreneurship and/or investment

Skills that will help you in the role

  • Strong quantitative and qualitative skills and an ability to conduct critical reasoning.
  • An ability to generate insight.
  • Diligence and conscientiousness.
  • Coding skills are desirable but not essential.
  • Strong communication and interpersonal skills
