Fidelity International

Fidelity International runs a four-stage process for early-careers programmes: an online application with CV, an online assessment combining cognitive and personality tests (to be completed within five days of applying, 20-30 minutes), a first-round video interview with a member of the hiring team, and a final assessment centre day. The assessment centre combines technical, commercial, and motivational interviews with a technical case study and a group exercise; investment-focused streams (equity research, fixed income, multi-asset) carry more than one interview within the day. Candidates targeting multiple Fidelity tracks should plan for an assessment-centre day per programme rather than a single all-tracks event, and the online assessment acts as the early gate that filters applications well before the centre is scheduled.

Fidelity International runs distinct programmes across interns, graduates, and apprenticeships, accepting applications from any subject background with no grade requirements. The interns and insights track is organised by investment discipline:

• Summer Internship (10-12 weeks, starting June): equity research, fixed income, systematic and multi-asset, sustainable investing, sales and marketing, and technology streams.
• Spring Insight Programme: a short first-year introduction.
• Investment Management Virtual Experience Programme: an open-access online programme.
• Equity Research (MBA): a dedicated postgraduate stream.

The graduate programmes mirror the same investment disciplines and start in September. Locations span UK, Ireland, Europe, Asia Pacific, India, and Bermuda. Because the summer internship is the principal feeder into the graduate roles, candidates committing to a discipline at the internship stage are also committing to that stream for the assessment-centre interviews; switching streams later in the cycle means re-running the full process.

Sponsorship at Fidelity International varies by programme and location. If a job description does not state that Right to Work in the country is required in advance, candidates who progress through the recruitment process and are offered a role can be sponsored, with Fidelity assisting on the visa application; if the description does require existing Right to Work, that role is not sponsored. Working-visa approval is "beyond the control of Fidelity" and remains subject to local immigration law. Before applying, a candidate without local Right to Work should treat each programme's job description as the gate that decides whether the role is realistically open to them, rather than assuming sponsorship across the full Fidelity track list.

Fidelity International opens applications for many of its early-careers programmes between August and September of the prior year, though this varies by programme and location; the 2026 UK summer internship opened in early autumn 2025. Summer interns and industrial placements start in June; graduates and apprentices start in September. Selection is rolling, with the online assessment to be completed within five days of applying. Because the window opens in August and runs rolling rather than waiting for a fixed close date, the earliest submissions are screened first; a candidate waiting until the new year is competing against applicants whose assessment centres are already booked.

Three things stand out from Fidelity International's published early-careers structure:

• Six discipline-aligned investment streams at both the internship and graduate stage — equity research, fixed income, systematic and multi-asset, sustainable investing, sales and marketing, technology — letting candidates commit to an investment function from year one rather than rotating across them.
• A dedicated Sustainable Investing track at both internship and graduate level, rather than folding ESG into a general analyst stream.
• An Equity Research (MBA) stream for postgraduate hires, alongside an open-access Investment Management Virtual Experience Programme that sits outside the application funnel.

Fidelity also accepts applications from all subject backgrounds with no minimum grade requirements. For a candidate already clear on which investment discipline they want, the structure rewards an early choice; for an undecided one, it forces a discipline commitment at the application stage rather than allowing exploration through a rotational programme.
