If I was able to secure a research/analyst role, or investment fund adminstrator role, using option 1 or 2 (is either of these better than the other) could such a role be a gateway to later securing a trading role?I can't see how 1, 2, or 4 could be a gateway to a trading role. A research/analyst one perhaps, but not trading. A more specialist economics qualification would be more likely to get you in the door.
Trading is often a short career also due to high levels of burn-out.
I'm Irish, which is why I'm aware of AAM, but yes the universities concerned would be in the UK.Given that you're talking about the Russell Group I'm presuming you are UK based? Just to note this is an Irish based site.
I see what you mean. The guy who realised that trading wasn't for him had an MSc Business yet he was still there being tried for a trading position. Therefore he obviously didn't need a technical MSc to secure a try-out.Having watched the programme I'm not sure that picking an MSC based on what might work with trading is worthwhile. As you saw prior experience does not guarantee success.

Without an economics qualification, I can't see any firm taking you on as an analyst, let alone an administrator with either of those. They would give you a good basis of what the industry does, but it's a massive shift from that to analysing company performance, understanding financial statements, history, etc. Take a look at the job sites, all the ads talk about a requirement for a business qualification. For administration in particular, accountancy qualifications would be more relevant.
Not true. Investment banks are always looking out for science and maths graduates.
I don't think a masters in material science/ composites is going to get too many of them excited!
