Introduction
At Fidelity International, we see our apprentices as a vital part of our business. We’ll give you the support and training you need to succeed, whilst gaining a qualification. In return, you’ll help us deliver world class services and become highly knowledgeable about our business.
We offer investment solutions and services and retirement expertise to more than 2.4 million customers globally. As a privately held, purpose-driven company with a 50-year heritage, we think generationally and invest for the long term. By combining our asset management expertise with our solutions for workplace and personal investing, we work together to build better financial futures.
Our people are passionate, engaged, smart and curious, and we give them the independence and the confidence to make a difference. While we take pride in the excellence of our investment solutions and client service, we know we can always do better. We are honest, respectful and make tough calls, challenging the status quo to achieve better outcomes through innovation. Above all else, we always put our clients first.
We know that having a diverse range of employees and an inclusive environment where people can be themselves leads to better business and Fidelity is about creating a culture where people’s differences are welcomed, encouraged and celebrated.
About your team
The real estate division of Fidelity International was founded in 2006 and launched its first funds for institutional investors in 2008, since when it has attracted a range of blue-chip clients from continental Europe, the UK, Canada and Asia. Current real estate assets under management is in the region of €2.5 billion. The experienced team of fund managers, asset managers, transaction managers, research professionals, analysts and operations professionals are based in five locations across Europe (London, Paris, Amsterdam, Frankfurt and Luxembourg). The team has established strong performance track records and we are building on this success by both growing our existing flagship funds and further developing the business through new funds, including funds focused on climate impact investing.
We are committed to sustainable investing and have firmly embedded sustainability in all steps of our investment process, from the time of acquisition, throughout the holding period and until disposition. We have set a range of sustainability targets and proactively engage with our tenants and suppliers to drive improvements.
What you’ll be doing:
We don’t expect you to come straight in and know everything about what we do.
As an apprentice, and whatever you’re studying, we’ll help make sure you get the most out of your time with us. Fidelity is a fantastic place to learn, innovate and grow. There are expert colleagues around the world to learn from and share ideas with. Over the course of your apprenticeship, there will be opportunities for you to develop your investment knowledge, gain broad experience of your assigned team and the broader Fidelity business.
You’ll assist with facilitating and leading on projects relating to specific investment initiatives or processes.
You’ll also develop your analysis skills and learn how this function operates whilst ensuring the best outcomes for clients.
You’ll help to build understanding and awareness of our competitors and what they’re doing.
One day a week you’ll be studying and preparing for assignments.
What we look for:
We look for apprentices who are analytical, eager to learn and ready to take on a challenge. A genuine curiosity and eagerness to learn about investment is vital, as is a lively interest in our work and our industry. Creative thinking and attention to detail are important too.
And, as we’re an international organisation, we’ll need you to speak English.
You’ll need to:
GCSE Grade 4 or above in English and Maths and a Further Education qualification (A Levels, BTEC, IB etc.)

Our clients come from all walks of life and so do we. We are proud of our inclusive culture and encourage applications from the widest mix of talent, whatever your age, gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender identity, social background and more.
We welcome applications from students from all educational backgrounds. If you’re inquisitive and ambitious, an apprenticeship at Fidelity could be a great opportunity for you.
Training and Development
Over your two-year apprenticeship programme, you will be based in our London Cannon Street office, where you’ll not only learn how our complaints teams contribute to making our organisation work seamlessly, but also build your knowledge of the wider business.
You’ll start your apprenticeship with a mini-induction, during which we’ll introduce you to investment management and how it fits into the City. After that, there are many more ways to develop your skills as your apprenticeship progresses.
At every stage, your development will be underpinned by the best apprenticeship training and professional certified courses.
Unlike other firms that hire on a volume basis, we take on a select number of apprentices. You will be highly valued here, so your development is heavily invested in from day one.
Social and networking events will help you get to know our people and culture. All the while you’ll be learning on the job, working to clear goals and understanding your own potential.
Future Opportunities
During your time with us you’ll get to learn even more about what you enjoy, what you’re great at, and how to develop the career path that’s perfect for you. Our apprenticeship programmes may even lead to full-time opportunities if that’s what you’re looking for.
