The role

The Investments business aims to create sustainable competitive advantage for clients in their investment portfolios. This is delivered to clients by providing expert advice on their investments and decision-making processes, making investment decisions on their behalf through delegated investment services, and providing investment tools. Clients require portfolios that are tailored to their goals, are cost effective and deliver strong returns with controlled risk. As an innovative firm with multi-asset capability and a fiduciary mind-set, the team can change the way clients govern themselves and invest, as well as influence the way the investment industry operates – our ethos is ‘Changing Investment for the Better.’

• Defining investment governance frameworks
• Supporting WE colleagues in internal functions as Sustainability, Reporting, Strategy, Research or Governance

We support colleagues to develop a broad range of technical and soft skills. This breadth of knowledge across the investment spectrum will allow you to identify which topics you find most interesting and explore them further.

As part of a forward-thinking organization you will work in an inclusive environment that recognizes the importance of diversity of thought in achieving success. Whilst working hard and having fun, our ultimate mission is to create better outcomes for beneficiaries and ensure fairness for asset owners.
