valuation and modeling to coordination. And if you’re not sure what
some of these terms mean, our in-depth training program will answer

Initial Training

When you have finished two six-month rotations, you will be
placed in a full-time analyst role, either within Securities and
Banking Operations, or within Securities Funds Services
Operations.
