Companies with grad schemes in Asia

Hey all,

Looking at grad schemes in Asia, beyond the standard BB, that don't require fluency in an Asian language.

Has anyone got any knowledge of schemes (buy or sell side) that are available to non Asians?

Particularly interested in any asset managers with Asian grad schemes (will they always demand mandarin?) as I understand HF and PE roles are very hard to come by before the above limitations.

Otherwise, for roles described above, am I just looking at S&T to have a look in without a language?

Thanks guys, appreciate the help as always

Have you tried looking at the websites of the companies you actually want to apply to? I know BlackRock hire non-asians in Hong Kong for PMG. Knowledge of Mandarin is not a prerequisite. PM me if you would like some more info on that.

 

Thanks, exacty the kind of thing I'm looking for, PMd you.

I have tried looking at the websites but I'm currently unsure as to what I really want to do (S&T, HF, PE, AM -> I know this is very broad, I will narrow it down closer to the fall by talking to people, looking into it in more depth), so it's a pretty broad universe without being able to narrow it down
