Induction
All new staff joining Liontrust receive an induction. The Liontrust
Induction programme was revised and updated in 2019. There is
now an induction e-book which is emailed to new staff members
before their first day. This contains all necessary information a new
joiner will need as well as welcome messages from John Ions (CEO)
and Ross Hadden (HR Director). This supports the on-boarding
process and allows the individual to review the information and
come prepared on the first day, with any initial questions. HR
provides additional information if necessary. New joiners should
expect role specific meetings throughout the business during their
first days as part of their induction and welcome to the company
and they will also be required to complete regulatory training, with
modules being issued dependant on the role.
E-learning modules include:
• Market Abuse
• Conflicts of Interest
• Treating Customers Fairly
• Anti-Bribery
• CASS
• Financial Promotions/Client Communications
• Data Protection
Investment 20/20 Internship Programme
In 2019, Liontrust partnered with the Investment Association on
their Investment 20/20 Internship programme, introducing school
leavers and graduates to the investment management industry
and helping them to gain industry knowledge, experience and
develop relationships, enabling them to progress in their careers
and providing them with skills to secure a permanent role. As part
of the Investment 20/20 programme, trainees have opportunities
to meet and network with over 200 trainees across the industry and
participate in social and insight events.
Mayor’s Fund for London Internship Programme
In 2018, Liontrust partnered with the Mayor’s Fund for London
Internship programme, designed to provide careers support and
guidance for 16 to 24-year-old Londoners. Specifically, this
targets schools and colleges in economically disadvantaged areas
of London to source candidates who are making key decisions
about their future careers but struggle to make links with employers.
The programme aims to increase social mobility by broadening
young people’s understanding of the workplace and increasing
confidence, resilience and knowledge.
We successfully placed two female candidates on fixed term
contracts, one of whom has since become a permanent employee
and continues to work at Liontrust.

During my internship I was fortunate to work
with such a welcoming, well established
investment team. I was continuously challenged
and given a lot of opportunities to work on
different projects, enhancing my knowledge of
the asset management industry. I learnt that it
is very important to be honest with yourself
and love your work, this gives real passion in
a daily routine. I was delighted to be offered
a permanent position as a Portfolio Manager
Assistant on the Sustainable Investment
team. Thank you Liontrust for this fantastic
opportunity and I look forward to continue
contributing to the team and expanding my
knowledge here.
