Markets is part of our Corporate and Investment Banking (CIB) team. We support our clients in managing trading risk, raising capital and diversifying investments. It’s a business about relationships and working closely with clients across our global network.

We offer our clients a comprehensive range of products which means there’s lots for you to learn and get involved in.

You will work towards your Level 4 qualification, the Investment Operations Specialist apprenticeship, where you will gain three Chartered Institute of Securities and Investments (CISI) exams in Securities & Investments, UK Financial Regulations and Derivatives. We excited to be partnering with Exeter University to deliver this qualification.
We understand that success comes from having a supportive and encouraging team around you, so each apprentice is allocated with a Learning and Skills Coach throughout the academic element of their apprenticeship plus mentors, peers and stakeholders from the trading floor.
