PROMISING PERFORMERS COMPETITION SUPPORTED BY SECURITIES & INVESTMENT INSTITUTE
The SII is keen to promote to schools the benefits of investment and the securities industry and in November got the opportunity to host a day in the City for six students in conjunction with careers company, Inside Knowledge.
These ‘Promising Performers’ demonstrated an aptitude for a career in investment during 2007 when Inside Knowledge took industry practitioners into schools nationwide, explaining what careers in industrial sectors look like from the inside.
The six were treated to a City tour by Blue Badge guide, Frank Gelli, including visits to the Bank of England, the London Metal Exchange and the Royal Exchange – now a market dedicated to expensive jewellery, handbags and latté!
After a lunch at the Institute, Christopher Jones-Warner talked about the Stock Exchange and how to construct an investment portfolio.
