Each year, Allan Gray aim to recruit and invest in academic achievers who are motivated and enthusiastic about joining our firm.
We recruit recent graduates mostly into permanent positions from day one. There is a compulsory four-week orientation.
After orientation, the graduates are taken through the Allan Gray academy, which is an ‘incubated’ functional training environment.

The result: graduates in real roles, taking their first steps towards achieving their long-term ambitions.
Through this process we invite graduates who stand out in terms of achievements and acumen to apply for a position into the Trainee Analyst Programme. Competition to get into this programme is fierce, and only a few positions are available per year.
