“I have participated in an internship as a CO-OP student trainee at the Group Wealth Management team of HSBC for 6 months from July – December 2017. It has been a great experience for me as I have gained exposure to a large variety of financial products offering to retail clients, including fixed-income products, structured products, stocks and ETFs. 

Besides, being in the Group Team greatly expanded my scope of vision, increased my understanding towards different markets both by products and by regions. I have improved my knowledge towards products, soft skills including interpersonal skill, data analysis skills, presentation skills, making me to be more prepared for future job opportunities in banking industry. 

HSBC, being one of the most frequently talked name in Hong Kong, is a decent place for students to kick start their career in banking industry. Seniors are willing to teach, colleague are all friendly and kind to offer helps whenever needed. I believe that such an internship opportunity would be a valuable chance for any students interested in banking industry, especially for in wealth management. Meanwhile, GLEF helps a lot in making student prepared for such a position, due to both its course structure and contents.”
