Industry Initiatives
We are involved actively in industry initiatives to promote inclusion within asset management.
Vocational Trainee Program
We run a vocational trainee program in the UK, working with a charity called The Brokerage. Through this program, we select talented leavers from London state schools and offer them the chance to study for a degree, alongside working full time at Newton. This program has been running for many years, and we have seen many successful school leavers succeed, earn their degree, and contribute meaningfully to Newton.
Diversity Project
We are an active member of the Diversity Project, and through this, we work with more than 100 other investment firms to share and develop best practices.
We are a founding member of the Diversity Project Pathway program, which has a target to train 150 female portfolio managers in London over the next five years. This industry-wide program was launched in January 2023, and is providing a training and career opportunity for women, particularly those in non-investment roles, who want to become portfolio managers, to learn from the best across the industry, with a new cohort starting each new year.
