Pinnacle calls for Women in Asset Management Scholarship applications

Pinnacle Investment Management Group (Pinnacle) is pleased to announce the launch of the Pinnacle Women in Asset Management Scholarship Program (the Scholarship).

The Scholarship and corresponding career development program has been designed for women in their penultimate year of university study, with the aim of building on the Group’s efforts to promote and enable careers for women in asset management.

The Scholarship provides:

• 12-week paid internship program with the Pinnacle Institutional Distribution team over the 2025/26 Australian summer period.
• Opportunity to gain experience in an overseas office environment within the internship period.
• A $5,000 bursary (once off payment to support scholarship recipients in final year of study).
• Mentorship opportunities from experienced industry professionals.

Pinnacle Investment Management Group Director and Head of People and Culture, Amy Clampett, said it’s hoped the Scholarship will help develop knowledge about the diverse career pathways the asset management industry can provide.

“For over five years, the Pinnacle Group has been facilitating women in finance scholarships in partnership with several universities. These scholarships have led to permanent roles across the Group for recipients and this new program will complement these existing partnerships, building on their success.

“The Pinnacle Women in Asset Management program will highlight the breadth of career pathways the industry provides beyond technical financial analyst positions, including fund distribution, strategic asset allocation, data analysis, legal and compliance, investor communications, and financial marketing.

“Scholarship programs like this not only help promote the industry to talented students, they also assist in developing professional networks, building technical and interpersonal skills, and provide invaluable real-world professional insight and experiences.

Candidates from both finance and non-finance-related university undergraduate courses are encouraged to apply for the scholarship. Applications close on 9 June 2025 and more information on the application process and requirements can be found at https://pinnacleinvestment.com/women-in-asset-management/.

Pinnacle’s existing Women in Finance scholarships operate in partnership with the University of Queensland, University of New South Wales, University of Sydney, Macquarie University and University of Melbourne.
