Entrepreneurial At IC Securities our culture is defined by a fiercely entrepreneurial spirit, underpinned by our watchwords of focus, innovation and excellence. These are the ingredients on which we base all our recruiting and training efforts, serving to mould a unified team spirit with an unshakeable “can do” attitude, an eye for detail and a hunger to do more. This culture is expressed through our Firm Principles. Thought Leading We apply fresh thinking from first principles to each situation. We believe that the difference we make is due to our objective, concise and brutally fair assessments. We disregard fashionable jargon and do not hide behind meaningless platitudes. Socially Responsible We operate in the poorest parts of the world, as our strategy is based on participating in their ultimate convergence with the global capital markets. Therefore, on a daily basis, we observe first hand the stark juxtaposing of limitless opportunity with abject poverty. We know the only sustainable solution lies in improving the human capital base of these countries. That is why we set aside a portion of our profits every year for the IC Giving Foundation, whose sole object is to provide for the full education of young individuals from the most deprived backgrounds, on a person by person basis. Ownership-Minded As a people business, we believe every member of the Firm must constantly think and operate as an owner. That is why, each year, a significant portion of our employee reward program is made in stock awards. This way we are able to tie outstanding individual performance and growth to the Firm’s ownership, whilst fostering a real sense of collective teamwork. Training-Focused Our internship and graduate training programs are emerging as best-in-class in the markets in which we operate. It is our aim to constantly improve upon our previous efforts, in order to provide talented young individuals with the platform they require to be future leaders in our business and beyond.
