Our people
|
|
Our focus attracts highly qualified people dedicated to the business of investment management. Pictet Asset Management is distinguished by the quality of its employees at all levels, the result of the most discerning recruitment policy, and a commitment to career and personal development over the long term. Investment and business development executives enjoy compensation structures directly related to their individual and team performance, while from 2006 those showing a major long-term contribution to Pictet may also aspire to an equity share in the Bank's partnership. Although we emphasise organic growth through the development of our own professional staff, we recruit both graduates and seasoned investment professionals. For graduates we look for a top class degree, preferably with one or two languages in addition to mother tongue. Many also hold a postgraduate qualification. As part of the graduate training programme, all junior fund managers and analysts are required to take the CFA. Stability, continuity and independence have allowed us to maintain a low turnover of professionals. |
