Allan Gray Graduate Programme

Allan Gray Graduate Programme. Allan Gray is 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 multiple channels for servicing clients and executing their transactions. The Allan Gray Retail Client Services team is the primary touch point for clients interacting with the company and is thus at the forefront of the way in which a client experiences Allan Gray. Our team of Consultants focus on engaging and establishing long-lasting relationships with our clients by delivering an excellent experience, focused on building trust and confidence.

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, resilient 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.
