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.
As a graduate from a humanities background, the Graduate Associate programme was hugely rewarding and eye-opening for me. The programme exposed me to how stock exchanges are operated and HKEX’s significance to Hong Kong’s financial markets. HKEX is a truly international and diverse organisation that offers rich exposure to young talents who are hungry to learn and thrive under a collaborative environment.
Throughout the programme, I was given autonomy to participate in many impactful and challenging projects. I was tasked to collaborate with different teams across the organisation and senior management, which enhanced my knowledge of the industry and helped me gain insights into how strategic decisions are made. I had the opportunity to rotate between various roles, ranging from taking part in coordinating listing policy initiatives to designing new equity derivatives products. What stood out to me is the great sense of purpose I get from the day-to-day tasks, as HKEX plays a mission-critical role in facilitating the capital flows of Hong Kong and China’s capital markets.
As a law and social science degree graduate, I am privileged to join the Management Trainee Programme of HKEX. The programme offered unique experiences and tailored training opportunities that catered to each individual's career interests and aspirations. Now that I have graduated and started working in the Group Compliance Department, I handle projects and tasks that include engaging with regulators and collaborating with teams across HKEX to deliver on new business initiatives.
I particularly enjoyed the job rotation arrangement of the programme, through which I developed skills I would not get from my educational background. In one of my placements in the Data and Analytics team, I practiced coding skills and helped build market insights from raw data. While the work was challenging and demanded great attention to detail, it has certainly been rewarding to work in a supportive environment at the heart of Hong Kong’s finance industry.
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.
HKEX provided me a comprehensive picture of how business strategies and technology synergise with the group’s vision to build the Marketplace of the Future. At the heart of capital markets, the exchange gave me the opportunity to help pioneer various digital transformation projects and to stay ahead of the rapid changes in financial markets and the technological realm. The Management Trainee programme also offered a unique opportunity to broaden my horizons and professional network as I rotated across different roles and responsibilities and worked with brand new stakeholders.
Having chosen Listing and Corporate Systems as my permanent placement, I am collaborating actively with individuals across the group on enterprise and client-facing technological solutions, which will enable smarter ways of operating our business and generate greater business value. As a project manager, I work with a wide range of stakeholders and am really amazed by the diverse culture of the company and the varied methodologies we apply to projects, such that we embrace ideas and deliver results effectively.
The Management Trainee Programme provided me with opportunities to explore different business functions and roles within the organisation. I had the opportunity to rotate between essential business teams ranging from risk management and trading operations, to sales and marketing. This experience has proven valuable when I joined the Equities Product Development team upon completion of the Management Trainee Programme. Since product development and market structure enhancements often have a market-wide impact, my everyday work involves collaborating with different market stakeholders including regulators, market makers and issuers to assess project impact and work towards further enhancing our market.
These experiences have provided me with excellent exposure and helped develop my problem solving and analytical skills, which are essential for product development. Despite the steep learning curve and tasks that are often challenging, working at the Exchange has been an incredibly rewarding journey and I am proud to be able to contribute to the continual growth of HKEX and the Hong Kong financial market.
It was a precious opportunity to join the HKEX Management Trainee programme. I was delighted to gain exposure to different business functions, projects and strategies. The work nature was unique and the learning curve was steep, but I was fortunate to have all the support from my colleagues. I am glad to have started my career at HKEX, where I could learn and grow in a supportive environment.
Throughout my journey at HKEX, I participated in a variety of impactful projects, ranging from product development to microstructure enhancements. These experiences provided me a lot of market insights and product knowledge. In addition, the opportunity to rotate across different departments sharpened my interpersonal and leadership skills, as well as enriched my social network. Though adapting to each new rotation can be challenging, it was definitely rewarding and fruitful in the end.
