The diversity of participants and rotations in TAP will expand your knowledge base and broaden your perspective on the world.
Get down to business
In each rotation, we want you to challenge yourself and experience professional satisfaction. You will use your skills in a wide range of areas, such as:
- Business Development — Develop initiatives in marketing and client services, evaluate new business prospects or help us launch into new markets.
- Client-Relationship Management — Experience our team approach to providing financial advisers, mutual fund investors and clients with high-quality service.
- Compliance and Regulation — Gain insight into the complex regulatory environment in which mutual funds and institutional accounts operate.
- Human Resources — Participate in recruiting and interviewing, analyze trends in associate development or evaluate performance-assessment metrics.
- Information Technology — Lead strategic IT projects such as evaluating products for internal use or negotiating new-vendor contracts.
- Investment Research — Research companies and industries worldwide, conduct economic analysis and evaluate or trade securities.
- Nonprofit (NGO) rotation — Work with a nonprofit organization or NGO to help it develop a strategic plan or reassess its financial operations.
Build long-term relationships
In TAP, you work as a member of a team during some rotations and more independently during others. In all cases, the program manager, your rotation managers and fellow TAP participants, former and current, are available as resources.
The program manager is a consistent presence, helping guide you through TAP based on your development and goals and the areas in which you've expressed interest. In addition, each rotation manager gets to know you while working with you and becomes invested in your long-term success. Fellow TAP participants and graduates provide support and advice.
The diverse backgrounds, approaches and ideas of the wide range of people you encounter during the program add to your overall TAP experience.
Complement your experience
The program will help you learn about our business and your skills through a series of six rotations geared toward your interests and development needs, as well as our business needs. Most TAP participants may also consider an optional volunteer rotation with a nonprofit organization or NGO (nongovernmental organization).
Many TAP participants come into the program with little knowledge regarding our industry. In addition to the experience gained during the rotations, we help you acquire a solid understanding of basic accounting tools, valuation methodology and capital markets through in-house courses in accounting and finance taught by graduate-level professors.
These small, seminar-style courses are offered on-site on a weekly basis to the class of first-year TAP participants. Fast-paced and interactive, the courses are customized to the needs of the group, and the professors make time to work individually with participants who require additional assistance.
