    Job description

    Description

    We are Africa's largest privately owned investment management company.

    Our focus is generating long-term wealth for our investors, and we have been investing on behalf of clients since 1974.

    We have offices in South Africa, Botswana, Namibia and Nigeria, and through our relationships with our sister companies, Orbis and Allan Gray Australia, we are well positioned to research and identify long-term investment opportunities for investors.

    Our steadfast commitment to long-term investing extends to our people as our people are our assets. We don't have a tangible product to sell.

    We understand that even the most intelligent investment philosophy means nothing without quality minds to execute it, clients to benefit from it, and highly professional and smart people to service those clients.

    This is why we’re searching for focused final-year students who are dedicated to achieving their long-term goals through the Allan Gray Graduate Intake.

    Each year, we aim to recruit and invest in academic achievers who are motivated and enthusiastic about joining our firm.

    We recruit recent graduates mostly into permanent positions from day one. There is a compulsory four-week orientation. After orientation, the graduates are taken through the Allan Gray academy, which is an ‘incubated’ functional training environment. This lasts for a period of three to six months, depending on the role.

    The result: graduates in real roles, taking their first steps towards achieving their long-term ambitions.

    Through this process we invite graduates who stand out in terms of achievements and acumen to apply for a position into the Trainee Analyst Programme. Competition to get into this programme is fierce, and only a few positions are available per year.

    • Client Service Consultant
    • Operations Consultant
    • Trainee Business Analyst (Institutional Client Services; Product Development; Distribution; Information Systems)
    • Junior Software Developer
    • Junior Software Tester

     

    Qualifications

    We value academic excellence and a long-term perspective. We are looking for focused final year students who share our values: performance driven, individually accountable and independent minded who are completing a Bachelor’s degree, with excellent academic results in the following fields:

     

    • Actuarial Science
    • Business Science
    • Commerce
    • Engineering
    • Humanities
    • Information Systems
    • Mathematics
    • Medicine
    • Sciences
    • Statistics

     

    Skills/Competencies And Experience

    Suitable candidates should apply for this general Allan Gray Graduate role and use the application and interview process to let us know where you think you will have the best start to your career at Allan Gray. If you are successful in the process we will make you an offer in a specific role. No work experience is required.
