Qualifications and entry requirements
While there is a non-graduate route into financial services, employers are increasingly looking towards graduates to fill in entry roles. Analyst and advisor roles for instance, will look for degrees in economics or relevant maths fields whilst the majority of employees will also be encouraged to obtain some form of specific professional qualification such as an NVQ or an Investment Management Certificate (IMC). Potential candidates are also expected to have an eye for detail as well as strong quantitative and analytical skills.
