Match with a mentor or mentee and create a career relationship that lasts for life.
BECOME A MENTEE BECOME A MENTORBuilding your career is harder on your own. Mentors give you the expertise and advice to take your career forward. As volunteers, our mentors give back their knowledge to the next generation. But mentoring means more than that. It's a relationship that helps you grow together.
Ekaterina Sidorova faced the challenge of losing her contact book when moving to the UK but found support through the CFA mentorship programme. It's designed to help you grow your network and knowledge, offering support and connections that can make a significant impact on your professional journey - whatever stage you're at.
Our mentoring programme connects experienced investment leaders with ambitious investment professionals.
Being a mentee gives you the edge over your peers – but that’s not all. You’ll meet a mentor that wants you to succeed in achieving your goals. When you describe your ambitions and your challenges, your mentor will help you navigate them. Mentees also lead the relationship – you set up the meetings and have control over the process.

It's hard to know where you're headed - but mentors change all that. Your mentor can give you clarity on not only where you can take your career, but show you the steps to get there.
You won't just meet a successful, experienced mentor. You'll have the opportunity to build your professional and personal network, giving you more opportunities to take your career forward.
You'll shape your relationship with your mentor, setting up your meetings and taking control of the process. That means you get the advice and guidance you need, in your own time.
Being a mentee lets you share your successes and challenges with your mentor. Allowing them to show you a new perspective, teaching you tips you might not expect.
Becoming a mentor doesn’t lead to just one relationship. Not only will you support more than one mentee in their goals, but you'll meet an exciting community of investors mentoring with you. You can access training, and you’ll get invites to exclusive, senior-level networking events. When you become a mentor, the benefits aren’t just for your mentee – they're there for you, too!

Mentors guide mentees as they navigate their professional careers. By setting an example for them, you'll grow your leadership and communication skills for your career, too.
As a mentor, you can meet a group of experienced investment professionals who are guiding the next generation. That means new contacts, new conversations, and potential new colleagues.
Your mentor is there to give you advice on everything you need to succeed in your job - and outside of it. They're a trusted guide who can give you advice and support as you progress in your career.
Becoming a CFA UK mentor gives you real-world experience in guiding others towards their career goals. It's experience that's invaluable in pursuing senior leadership roles in the future.
The application process for mentorship opens twice a year, and demand is high! We let our members know by email when the window opens. During the process, you’ll have a call with us to discuss your aims and objectives, and they’ll find a mentor that matches you. You’ll meet them at our mentoring kick-off event.
