Future Investment Banker Summer Experience

Overview

We are now over 75% full for this experience and expect to be sold out soon.

The Future Investment Banker Summer Experience gives students aged 12-14 a 360-degree, fully-immersive experience of working as an investment banker in London.

Over the course of 10 days, students aged 12-14 will have some of the most prestigious experiences of investment banking that one can imagine: trading the global markets, carrying out a high scale merger between two global corporations and the opportunity to build your own world beating portfolio.

Also available on the Summer Experience are daily Q&A sessions with investment bankers, a boating tour of London’s premier financial district, an immersive escape room, and a full day dedicated to ‘Personal Career Coaching’.  

Join us for a life-changing experience that will serve as an outstanding differentiator on your university application form and set you up for a future as a successful investment banker.
