The Associates Program (TAP) is a global rotation program that offers you a unique opportunity to explore your options, develop your potential and create professional opportunities in the investment management industry.
What is the Capital Group?
In business for more than 75 years, the Capital Group is one of the world’s most experienced and successful long-term investment management organizations.
How would TAP benefit me?
The two-year rotational series gives you experience in a variety of business areas through four-month assignments tailored to your skills and interests and the needs of our business. Rotations include areas such as Business Development, Client-Relationship Management, Investment Research and IT, as well as an optional rotation at a nonprofit organization or NGO. In addition, TAP helps you better understand investment management through in-house courses in accounting, finance and capital markets taught by university professors.
What happens after TAP?
We work with successful TAP graduates to select the best long-term professional opportunity from a range of full-time opportunities in our offices around the world. They currently work in areas such as Business Development, Client-Relationship Management, Compliance and Regulation, Human Resources and Investment Research. TAP graduates are well represented at senior levels in our organization.
Who is an ideal candidate?
There is no “ideal” candidate, although common characteristics of successful TAP participants include strong analytical, problem-solving, communication and interpersonal skills, as well as leadership ability, initiative and flexibility. Candidates with outstanding extracurricular and academic records, those who have worked after graduation, and exceptional internal candidates are all considered. A quantitative or finance background is not a prerequisite for consideration, and the program is not open to those who have an MBA.
What's the selection process?
We typically accept eight to 10 candidates from around the world into the program each year. The entire selection process takes about two months, during which you may participate in three rounds of interviews at a location near you and at our Los Angeles offices. Throughout the process, you meet with associates with diverse experience levels from various business areas and have the opportunity to ask questions of current and former TAP associates. We understand that this process is important for you, so we encourage you to use this time to learn more about us and have your questions answered.
Do you sponsor work visas?
We're often able to obtain work permits to address business needs. Speak with your local TAP recruiter for more details.
