#100blackinterns Programme
Whitehelm Capital is proud to be supporting the #100blackinterns programme in the UK. Every year the programme will offer at least 100 internships to black students and recent graduates in investment management for the next five years. The initiative has been started because of a lack of Black portfolio managers with it estimated that there are just 12 Black portfolio managers currently running money in the UK. This programme is seen as the most sustainable way of creating long term change, leading to an increase in the number of Black portfolio managers.
As part of the programme, next summer we will host a six week internship for a black student or recent graduate to give them a valuable insight into investment management and to equip them with the skills required to excel in the industry.
