Investment Managers' Charitable Trust

A very determined young man

Tahir is a very determined young man currently attending his fourth year of Business Management at the University of East London.

Tahir “discovered” asset management during his university years, and the passion he developed for the subject has helped him to improve his results and orientated his studies since.

He is passionate about pursuing a career in Sustainable Asset Management and applied for the IMCT bursary for the IMC qualification to be a better-equipped candidate when he begins looking for a career in the space.

On receiving the IMCT bursary, Tahir writes:

I want to express my gratitude at being selected to receive this bursary to study the Investment Management Certificate (IMC). I truly appreciate the opportunity and responsibility that comes with receiving this contribution.

As a former Business Management student, I never knew which direction to take my career. I was fortunate enough to have discovered the exciting and dynamic industry of Investment Management. In my pursuit of getting into the industry, the financial challenges I faced has helped me to appreciate the value of education and kindness towards one another. I feel that your generosity is the opportunity I have been waiting and working towards, in order to get into investment management. I cannot wait to make the most out of this chance. Studying the IMC will not only deepen my industry knowledge, but also allow me to connect with the fantastic people along the way.

This is the start of an exciting journey for me, and I am grateful for the trust helping me. Once I am in the profession, I hope to make positive impacts to as wide a range of people as possible, as I understand the magnitude in which it can change lives for the better. I hope to one day pass on a similar level of kindness this bursary has given me, to others in a similar position.

This bursary has enabled me to move closer towards my ambition of working in the investment management industry. Thank you for your investment in my future.
