Fidelity Investments plans to make 9,000 new hires across the U.S. by year-end as the company sees record growth amid a surge in stock trading.
The hiring push is the Boston-based fund manager’s third in less than a year, reflecting a boom in individual investing that has lifted the entire trading industry. The majority of the new positions at Fidelity will be focused on client interactions and technology, the company said in a statement. Combined with its plans from April to add about 4,000 workers within six months, Fidelity is on track to add roughly twice as many people in 2021 as it did last year.
