Intern - Meet Ernest, Analyst

From the start of my internship, I immediately felt like I was part of the team and got involved in a lot of interesting client work. This helped me to get a broad experience of the various asset classes that a pension scheme might invest in and LCP’s role in advising clients. I was also given research projects to work on, which helped me to better grasp some of the key investment concepts. I particularly enjoyed the balance of research and client work that I did as it was good to see how one was relevant to the other.

I thought the support that I received while working was second to none. I was assigned a buddy who I could turn to at any time when I needed help with tasks. Going into a working environment with no prior experience in the industry was initially very daunting but the team quickly made it very manageable for me as they were always happy to answer any questions I had.

LCP gave me a brilliant introduction into the industry. The summer internship was a great gateway into understanding the role and importance of investment in pension schemes and I would recommend it to anyone interested.
