Trainee Fund Administrator

The Opportunity

Due to continued growth, our client, a well established financial services firm, has a rare vacancy for a Trainee Fund Administrator at their London offices. In this role, you will be working as part of a close-knit team responsible for the basic compliance and day to day administration for a portfolio of investment fund structures. The role will involve KYC, and AML checks, as well as handling drawdowns and distributions for the funds as your knowledge base increases. The client offers full study support toward the ICSA (Institute of Chartered Secretaries and Administrators) qualification for this position. This role will form the basis for the Fund Administrator role going forward.

Your Profile

Ideally, you will be a recent graduate, looking to move into a role giving you exposure to the basics of compliance and administration, specific to investment funds. If you have no more than 6 months basic KYC/AML  or administrative experience, this would be desirable but not essential. Ideally, you will be looking to start the ICSA (Institute of Chartered Secretaries and Administrators), qualification. The client is open to considering candidates with either humanities or numerate degrees. Strong interpersonal skills are a must as you will be dealing with clients on a regular basis. Please bear in mind, the client is not a fund manager, so they are NOT looking for someone who is studying or intending to study the CAIA/CFA. Likewise, this in not an accounting position, so the client is NOT looking for someone who is looking to be an accountant.
