This program aims to facilitate mentoring partnerships where experienced mentors can share advice, knowledge and experiences with mentees, resulting in a mutually beneficial professional development relationship. It pairs developing asset management professionals seeking guidance and support with more experienced practitioners who are willing to commit time and energy to the professional development of another practitioner.
