Junior Trader Plus

Get the advantage

Junior Trader Plus is where we really engage with students’ career paths, and try and open doors in the City for young financiers. The individual parts of the scheme are only open to those that have completed the Junior Trader Share Trader Competition or attended the City of London Lecture Tour within a school group or as an individual.

There are notional costs to different elements, subsidised by our Sponsors in cases that are merited by scholarship or personal circumstances.

Ranging from a further study course to private Institutional Visits and career insights, we try and match you with the right career path and mentor your application process so that you are effective in early career choices.

The Course

The course is expected to take 4-8 weeks although this can be spread over up to a year if the student chooses. It is a self taught piece that involves 4 key stages:

  • Analytical Techniques in Practice
  • Mid-term formative assessment with feedback
  • Introduction to Compliance and Risk
  • Final assessment with feedback

The content is less mathematical and designed to permit student to explore their own thoughts and opinions on the way companies are run, and interact with all stakeholders.

Individual formative and summative assessment will be given and it is hoped that candidates will have grown a confidence to talk about investment during interviews and assessment.
