  • 1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
  • I was looking at how people in the team analysed the risk in investing into a business and how assets could be retrieved and sold to cover the investment. I also was able to learn the a wide understanding of the business from the fund managers to the treasury. I also was doing meetings with different team members to ask and learn about their job and how it works.
