About the Role An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Junior Investment Manager to join a dynamic investment team based in the iconic Gherkin building in the heart of the City of London. This role is ideal for an ambitious graduate or early-career professional looking to develop within portfolio management, client advisory, and institutional investment strategy. You will work directly alongside senior investment managers, gaining exposure to discretionary portfolio management, asset allocation decisions, client meetings, and market analysis. This is a structured development role designed to fast-track high performers into fully authorised investment management positions. Key Responsibilities Assist senior investment managers with portfolio construction and asset allocation. Conduct market research and macroeconomic analysis. Prepare client investment reports and performance summaries. Attend client meetings alongside senior managers. Monitor portfolio performance and risk metrics. Support rebalancing and trade execution processes. Contribute to investment committee documentation. Maintain up-to-date knowledge of FCA regulations and compliance standards. What Were Looking For: Degree in Finance, Economics, Business, Mathematics or related field. Strong analytical and numerical skills. Excellent Excel and financial modelling capability. High attention to detail. Confident communicator with professional presentation skills. Genuine interest in global markets and investment strategy. Desirable: Knowledge of asset classes including equities, fixed income and alternatives. Understanding of AML and regulatory frameworks. Previous internship or placement experience within financial services. Development & Progression: This role includes: Structured two-year training programme. Ongoing professional development support. Mentorship from senior portfolio managers. Exposure to high-net-worth and institutional clients. Clear pathway to Investment Manager level. Why This Role Stands Out: Working in one of Londons most prestigious financial districts, you will gain hands-on exposure within a professional investment environment while developing both technical and client-facing expertise. This is not an administrative role. You will be actively involved in investment decisions, research projects, and strategic discussions from day one. Benefits: Competitive base salary. Annual discretionary bonus. Private healthcare. Pension scheme. Modern office in the City of London. Clear internal progression opportunities. If you are driven, analytical, and serious about building a long-term career in investment management, this is a rare opportunity to launch your career from one of Londons most recognisable financial landmarks.
