I started my journey at HKEX as a summer intern within Post Trade. This is where I first learnt about the functions that form the foundation of HKEX’s business, products and services. Post Trade’s coverage is very extensive, ranging from clearing & settlement services through to risk management, and onto custody servicing and collateral management, to name, but a few.
Working across HKEX’s clearing and settlement system initiatives, my team works to leverage new technology in order to expand HKEX’s post trade services and enhance its service offering and process efficiency. Even as a new joiner, we are given the opportunity to become involved in high profile projects, programmes and initiatives. We are always encouraged to speak up and express our opinions in both internal and external meetings. The experience has undoubtedly been challenging with a steep learning curve, but it’s also been very fulfilling. I know that I can always count on my colleagues for their support.
Coming from a non-finance background and wishing to develop my career as an IT professional, HKEX offers many opportunities. It’s a working environment that really stimulates and fosters growth from developing interpersonal & communications skills through to strengthening my understanding of HKEX's role across the whole value chain of financial markets.
As an IT Management Trainee, we are expected to provide resilient, scalable and fit-for-purpose solutions to drive efficiency and align with latest technology best-practices. Rotating between the different functions was a steep learning curve, but I was able to participate in different projects from application design, and system integration to stakeholder management. This involvement allowed me to learn more about how smart technology solutions are supporting our business challenges and enhancing HKEX’s efficiency. The fast pace and hectic schedule is challenging, yet rewarding. I am excited about all the new learning opportunities ahead!
As a graduate from a non-finance background, the Management Trainee programme was hugely beneficial for me, providing an introduction into the financial industry. Indeed, the rotations helped me to make an informed decision in choosing my career path. HKEX is uniquely positioned, interfacing with regulators, retail and institutional investors, data providers, the media, and other various financial institutions. And so, for a new graduate the exposure was invaluable.
The learning curve was undoubtedly steep and high quality work was expected of the Management Trainees regardless of background, but the programme equipped me with both technical and communication training to tackle any projects. I was given responsibility and participated in high impact and public-facing initiatives, and liaised with different teams and senior management in achieving my tasks. I felt valued as a team member and found the Management Trainee experience incredibly fulfilling and eye-opening.
“Technology Empowered” is one of the core pillars within HKEX’s Strategic Plan, and the Management Trainee Programme, therefore provides me with great opportunities to participate in technology enhancement projects. HKEX is moving forward rapidly, in leading Global markets in Asia, towards modernisation and growth. And, given that I have a tech and quant background, it is a real privilege and very rewarding to be part of HKEX’s Management Trainee programme. Not only am I given opportunities to lead impactful projects, but I am also encouraged to participate in sessions with senior managers in order to understand their vision of the future. Throughout my journey at HKEX, I have been supported in the development of my technical and interpersonal skills. This has ranged from being able to understand more about artificial intelligence through to honing my communication and presentation skills. With the support of my colleagues and seniors, it has been a really fascinating experience for me, and I am very grateful to be able to contribute to the development of Hong Kong as a leading International Financial Centre.
