Intern - Meet Toby, Consultant

After finishing my final year at university, I completed a 6-week internship at LCP. During the course of my internship, I had the opportunity to get involved in a variety of both client and research related projects. Much of this work was unfamiliar to me at the time; however, the people at LCP were very helpful and encouraging, which allowed me to gain good insight into what LCP was all about. LCP is an extremely sociable company and even in the short time I was here I managed to build good relationships with colleagues and staff. By the end of the internship, I decided LCP was somewhere I wanted to stay, and I was quick to accept when offered a permanent role soon after.

My day to day role at LCP is split between client related responsibilities and research. I help advise trustees of pension schemes: enabling them to make more informed decisions about their investment strategies and how to invest their pension scheme’s money. My regular responsibilities involve attending client meetings, advising on investment strategy, working with clients to appoint investment managers and helping with the day-to-day management of their schemes. I am also a member of the multi-asset research team, which involves meeting with managers of multi-asset funds and evaluating their processes and performance to establish a short-list of funds we would be happy to recommend to our clients.

LCP offers a culture and environment to help you develop your skills and grow your interests in new and different areas. There are always lots of opportunities to get involved with new projects to keep you on your toes.
