Rothesay

Rothesay runs a two-year UK Graduate Programme based in London and an eight-week structured summer internship. The graduate cohort opens with a fundamentals week of cross-firm networking and insight sessions before each hire joins their permanent team from week two, with a parallel on-site development programme of technical and business-skills training during year one and a formal assessment toward the end of the two years. Recent intakes have hired into named function tracks including Macro Risk, Capital Actuarial, Quantitative Risk Trader, Operations and Software Engineer, with active 2026 vacancies posted on Rothesay's graduate openings page. Because Rothesay's teams run lean and hire small numbers in each track, the choice between tracks materially shapes the work from day one rather than being deferred to a later rotation.

For the September 2026 cohort, Rothesay's Macro Risk graduate posting on its own Greenhouse board states an application deadline of 31 May 2026, with a programme start in September 2026 and eligibility limited to final-year students graduating in Summer 2026. Other 2026 tracks are listed via Rothesay's graduate openings page as they open and close on the same Greenhouse board. A late-May close puts Rothesay's UK process well after the autumn-cycle banks have settled their summer intakes, so it is usually a parallel application against other UK insurance and asset-management graduate schemes rather than against bulge-bracket banking.

Rothesay is the UK's largest pensions insurance specialist, with over £73bn of assets under management, nearly one million pensions secured, and average monthly pension payments of around £360m as of its 2025 results. The firm is a pure-play pension risk transfer business rather than a diversified insurer, which means graduate work sits close to the firm's only product line: bulk annuity pricing, longevity and asset-liability risk, and the investment portfolio backing those liabilities. For a candidate weighing graduate schemes, that focus is the trade-off to weigh: depth in pensions insurance and balance-sheet risk against the breadth on offer at a multi-line insurer or a universal bank.
