About Vanguard

At Vanguard, we stand for inclusion, cultivating difference and equality. These core values are lived by our crew, clients and the communities we serve worldwide.

More than 50 years ago, John C. Bogle had a vision to start an investment company that did things differently. A company with no external shareholders. Where all the profits were invested back into the business and used to lower costs. Evidently, it was as bold as it was brilliant. To this day, Vanguard Group still has no external shareholders. That means no share prices to protect, and no profits to generate for outside owners.

Today, Vanguard is one of the world's largest investment management companies, serving more than 50 million investors worldwide. For 30 years Vanguard Australia has been supporting individual investors, financial advisers, and superannuation members to achieve their long-term financial goals.

Invest in your success with the EIS & FSO Graduate Program

Enterprise Investment Services and Fund Services & Oversight exist to drive investor success through world class investment services. The division is comprised of Investment Operations, Fund Accounting, Investment Management Group (IMG) Service, Performance & Attribution, and Securities Lending functions. Responsibilities include pre/post trade lifecycle management, Investment Book of Record generation that drives investment decision, ensuring integrity in the Accounting Book of Records, and delivering a high value securities lending program to our clients.

EIS and FSO are part of collaborative global teams that aim to deliver operational excellence, insightful analytics and white glove support to the Investment Management Teams.

The two-year program involves four 6-month rotations. You will begin in EIS, building a deep understanding of all global portfolios, and provided opportunities to gain exposure to a variety of asset classes across the full suite of Vanguard investment products. Potential teams include:

• Reconciliations,
• Trade Management Oversight,
• Investment Book of Record,
• Derivatives or
• Corporate Actions.

In these rotations, you will hone your knowledge on a specialised area of the Investment Management process. Next, you will rotate into an Investment Management supporting role (IMG Service) providing index data and adjustments that portfolio managers track their portfolios to, providing investment support and working closely with the local Trading and Investment Management Group.

You'll then complete your program in the ETF Operations, Fund Accounting or Performance teams, utilising the knowledge you've gained through the varied teams that make up the Investment Management Lifecycle.

Following the completion of the program participants are provided a permanent role in one of the teams within EIS or FSO.
