The Capital Group Companies
What is TAP?

Who we are

The Capital Group Companies is one of the world's most experienced and successful investment management organizations. For more than 75 years, the heart of our success has been a commitment to helping our investors realize their long-term financial goals.

Headquartered in Los Angeles, we are a privately owned organization with 19 offices throughout Asia, Europe and North America.

What we offer

We recognize that, at this stage of your life, you may be unsure of your long-term goals and want to explore various career possibilities while deepening and broadening your knowledge and skills.

Since 1981, TAP has provided exceptional individuals from a variety of backgrounds a unique opportunity to learn about the business of investment management and apply their knowledge firsthand.

During TAP's two-year rotation program, you gain real-world exposure to a variety of business areas through six customized assignments, each lasting four months. In the first year, participants are based in our Southern California offices. Our global business needs, however, often result in TAP rotations in our offices in Asia, Europe or elsewhere in North America during the second year of the program.

What to expect

TAP is not a dress rehearsal. As a TAP participant, you're not an intern. During each four-month rotation, your job is to discover how to make a meaningful contribution to the business and help move it forward.

You're considered a full-fledged member of the team and given real responsibility right from the start. Along the way, you're guided by our most valued assets — our experienced associates.

Your specific rotations are not determined at the outset of the program. As you move through it, frequent discussions about your interests, strengths and skills you'd like to develop help us craft rotations that allow you to grow while helping us address our real-time business needs.
