Women in Finance

The Pinnacle Women in Finance scholarship:

The Women in Finance Scholarship has been running since 2019, to empower, inspire and enable women to gain experience in the investment management and broader financial services industry. The Scholarship assists female university students in gaining a greater understanding of, and experience in, investment management. As part of this scholarship, the scholars are invited to undertake an internship.

The program also allows students to broaden their professional networks, through participation in informal mentoring initiatives. Students also are invited to join the Scholarship alumni group, which brings together Women in Finance Scholars since 2019 for the purpose of attending events, networking, and sharing job opportunities.

INTERN INTERVIEW

Jasmine Hockey (2025 scholar) completed an internship at Antipodes. Read more about her experience and the positive impact that the Women in Finance Scholarship had on her personal and professional growth here.

“Pinnacle’s Women in Finance Scholarship opened the door for me to gain useful industry experience with the Risk & Compliance team as an intern, where I later progressed into an Associate role. This allowed me to work closely with dedicated managers to ensure the company and its Affiliates are compliant with internal policies and regulatory requirements, as well as monitoring and mitigating areas of risk within each business entity. My experience has fueled my passion for this industry and has provided an applied understanding of my university degree, a unique asset to my ongoing studies.”

“Receiving Pinnacle’s Women in Finance Scholarship in my second year of university was a key milestone in launching my career. It led to an internship with the Finance team, where I gained hands-on experience and worked closely with senior leaders. This exposure deepened my passion for finance and helped me connect academic theory with real-world practice. This experience granted me the opportunity to continue on in a part-time Associate role while completing my degree. I’ve since transitioned into a full-time position in the FP&A team, where I continue to grow professionally.”
