Building your career is harder on your own. Mentors give CFA UK members the expertise and advice to take your career forward. As volunteers, our mentors give back their knowledge to the next generation. But mentoring means more than that - it's a relationship that helps you grow with each other.

WHY MENTORING MATTERS
It’s not always easy to share your ambitions and challenges with your colleagues. But mentoring means you have someone to talk to that you can trust. Mentees get impartial insight from their mentors to help them make more informed career decisions. Mentors support new voices entering the industry and share their experiences to help them succeed.
Your relationship will last initially for six months. But if you enjoy each other’s company, it can go on for as long as you want!
WHY BECOME A MENTOR?
Our mentors volunteer their time to share their knowledge with others. By becoming a mentor, you’ll be matched with a mentee based on their aims and experience. When you meet your mentee, you won’t just give them advice. You'll make a positive impact supported by dedicated mentorship training. That means when your mentee achieves their goals, you’ll feel like you did too.
- Join an exciting community of investment professionals
- Access dedicated training
- Get invitations to exclusive senior level networking events
- Share your knowledge with the next generation
WHY BECOME A MENTEE?
Our mentees meet their career match! By becoming a mentee, you’ll form a relationship with an investment professional who does more than help. When it comes to your career, your mentor will be in your corner. You'll lead the conversation, setting up meetings and sharing your goals to work towards them together. Mentoring also looks excellent on your CV, setting you up for future success.
- Grow your career, whatever role you’re in
- Make new connections with our mentoring community
- Build your network at dedicated networking events
- Meet a mentor who supports you in your success
