HKH seeks to attract, develop, and retain the brightest minds in the business by hiring professionals and graduates in all areas of our company. The HKH’s Investment Associate Program (1st, 2nd, 3rd year) offers learning and development opportunities to help advance your career across a variety of areas such as and not limited to investing skills, leadership and management, communication, tech, and beyond. The Program offers the ability to work with professionals across multiple portfolio companies and includes especially a strong mentorship experience to allow the participants to become a fully integrated part of the HKH culture. HKH offers its Investment Associates (1st, 2nd, 3rd) the chance to engage in direct acquisitions of large and medium sized firms around its portfolio worldwide. The investment process develops both the financial skills of investment banking and the strategic thinking of management consulting. As a result, the Program offers a unique experience among financial firms, enabling our Investment Associates to develop a sound general and fine-tuned business mind.
