Investment banking jobs predicted to see change

Candidates applying for investment banking jobs in the years to come could face a different landscape due to a number of present-day trends.

The latest Financial Activity Barometer from John Gilbert Financial Research (JGFR) shows how the recent recession and turbulent economy have led to a likely change in the industry.

Chief executive John Gilbert says: "The retail financial services industry is set to go through a major restructuring, which is likely to have far-reaching effects on savings, investment and borrowing behaviour."

One effect that could impact on candidates for future banking jobs is the proposal to separate retail and investment activities to protect consumers against stock market risks.

Two-thirds of the public support this idea, according to figures from JGFR due to be elaborated upon in a coming report.

JGFR undertakes its research in order to help financial organisations of all types predict consumer behaviour in the coming months, so that they may ensure they achieve a positive relationship with their primary customers.
