Our aims
We help cultivate and rebalance the talent pipeline of the investment management industry from school room to the boardroom, by increasing access to skills learning and development for all.
We believe that the opportunity for quality professional development training and career promotion should be accessible to all professionals, across all roles and levels, not just the domain of a select few.
Our expertise in promoting a better work culture, with teams that foster inclusion and cognitive diversity is reflected in the themes we present through The Academy. We strive to ensure that our content and approach is fresh and innovative, and representative of the many different job descriptions, levels and voices in the investment and financial services industry.
Our Academy programme is based upon three pillars of development which are used to shape and inform the roster of masterclasses, events, workshops, and forums.
Each workshop, masterclass or forum is assigned to a specific pillar, developed to ensure that attendees at all levels and across all functions are given the opportunity to gather a holistic range of knowledge and skills that will support career progression.
