Global Investment Research - Corporate and Institutional Banking - Graduate

Who you are 

If you’re naturally analytical, curious about how the world works, and keen to turn global events into insights, you’ll fit right in.

Here’s what we’re looking for:

• A team player: You work well with others, pitch in when it counts, and your colleagues know they can count on you. Collaboration is everything – we succeed together.
• Problem solver mindset: You’re comfortable digging into numbers, spotting patterns, and making sense of complex information. Whether it’s company performance or big-picture economics, you like connecting the dots – and can spot a mismatch or typo.
• Clear communicator: You know how to break down complicated information and explain it in a way that makes sense – in person, in writing, and over email. You can share your point of view confidently, and you listen well too.
• Calm under pressure: Fast-paced? Tight deadlines? No problem. You stay focused, bring positive energy, and don’t let pressure impact your attention to detail.
• Always learning: Markets change all the time, and so do we. You’re curious, adaptable, and always up for learning something new – whether that’s exploring a fresh topic or rethinking the way something’s done.

• Build your analytical skills by breaking down complex problems and making sense of numbers, data, and trends – with a sharp eye for detail and accuracy.
• Explore how to assess company performance, evaluate risks, and explain what the data means.
• Learn how to present with impact, whether that’s in a client meeting, an internal update, or a clear, well-crafted research note.
• Understand the bigger picture – Learn how the global economy, current events, and market trends influence investment decisions – and how research supports our clients and our shapes big decisions.
• Team up with experienced Analysts and Economists who’ll support your learning, share insights, and help you grow every step of the way.

Get confident using the tools the industry relies on – like financial modelling platforms, data dashboards, and market intelligence tools – so you can turn complex information into clear, compelling insights.

What you’ll learn 

We’ll support you with all the training and development you need to succeed. Your journey will typically begin with any local regulated training and exams. This is followed by our Global Graduate Induction, where you’ll train alongside your graduate peers. The induction provides you with an overview of HSBC, as well as an opportunity to build a global network of graduates and business colleagues, which will prove invaluable as your HSBC career unfolds. Once you’ve completed the Global Graduate Induction, you’ll take part in a global tailored training programme to build both the technical understanding and professional capability required for your role.
