ALTERNATIVES INVESTMENT
Launched in February 2021, the AIP was developed alongside leading European and global private equity and asset management firms to raise awareness of the industry challenges and opportunities and help increase diversity of its workforce. We work with school student through a series of training events and with university candidates through the industry series of events to develop their knowledge and skills and therefore increase their chances of getting a role into alternative investment. We crucially collaborate with our alumni and other professionals through AIP’s flagship Fellowship programme to open their opportunities for career progression.
MAIN FOCUS:
Through ten comprehensive workstreams, the AIP will provide intensive training, mentoring, job opportunities and ongoing career support. High priority actions are already underway relating to secondary school engagement and training of junior associates through the AIP’s flagship Fellowship programme. The Fellowship builds on the outstanding success of a similar programme established in 2009 by SEO London’s predecessor entity in the United States. The US programme has developed into an industry-wide community and has successfully placed over 90% of its Fellowship programme participants into permanent positions within private equity and alternative asset managers.
