Are you a young minority financier looking for a way to transform your career? The City Fellowships can help you. They offer a unique opportunity to get in-depth knowledge of global markets with Goldman Sachs, the world's top investment bank, in the City of London, the world's most international financial services center. As the Economist commented recently, "The City of London is globalisation in action..handling more of the world's deals in over the counter derivatives, global foreign equities, eurobonds and foreign exchange than any other financial centre." The programme was inspired by the Rt. Hon. Lord Walker of Worcester, Vice Chairman of Dresdner Kleinwort Wasserstein, and former Secretary of State for Wales. The programme was co-founded by Mr. Oliver Franklin and Dr. Ray Raymond in 1993.
The total value of the Fellowships awarded to date is approximately $16 million.
Goals
The aims of the City Fellowship programme are:
- to enable young American minority financiers to get experience and knowledge of global capital markets with Goldman Sachs;
- to offer outstanding young minority financiers the opportunity to join Goldman Sachs;
- to strengthen Anglo-American financial relations.
