The newly hired personnel will have opportunities to enhance their global capabilities through various global training programs, specialized education, and work experience at overseas investment institutions, in line with expanding overseas investments and diversifying investments.

The recruitment covers five areas within the Fund Management Headquarters, including overseas stocks and bonds, real estate, infrastructure, and private equity investments, with plans to select 24 candidates: 8 responsible fund managers and 16 full-time fund managers by rank.

This year’s fund management recruitment will be conducted by sector, and plans for sectors not included this time will be prepared and carried out in January.

The recruitment process for fund management positions includes ▲document screening ▲practical interview ▲final interview ▲announcement of successful candidates, with the final hires expected to be appointed in May.

The entire recruitment process will be conducted in a blind manner, where applicants do not disclose their name, educational background, age, gender, or family information.
