Investment research programme 2026

Edinburgh
Baillie Gifford
£40,000 - £60,000 a year
Posted: 1 October
Offer description

During the Investment Research Programme, you'll rotate through year-long placements in autonomous investment teams. Each team has its own distinct approach and investment philosophy, but all have the same purpose – to drive positive returns for our clients. Whether those are councils, pension funds or governments, we're dedicated to helping them meet their income and savings goals.

From the moment you join us, the Investment Research programme offers a distinct career path and a long-term role. Our training will equip you with the tools, techniques, and mental models you will then use to identify company investment opportunities for our clients. Alongside your training, you will be fully supported by dedicated investment mentors and buddies.

Your role often involves visiting companies, speaking to global experts or attending conferences. You'll also receive full financial support and training to help you work towards professional qualifications, particularly the IMC (Investment Management Certificate) and the CFA (Chartered Financial Analyst) Level.

The Type of Candidate that we're looking for

* Curiosity
– Learning and development never stop, so you should be interested in a wide variety of subjects with a passion for continual learning.

* Independent thinker
– Can you apply your imagination? Does company research come naturally to you, and can you generate original ideas from your analysis?

* Self-Starter
– Are you keen to contribute from the start and drive your development?

* Resilient
– Successful investment can involve years of uncertainty, so you need to display fortitude during challenging times and be committed to growing and learning.

* Minimum of a 2:1 or 2:2 and above if you hold a postgraduate qualification. Alternatively, if you have extensive relevant work experience but no degree, your application is welcome.

To apply, please complete our online application form and upload your CV.

Like you, we are fans of generative AI. We embrace innovation, but we also value authenticity. Your application form is your chance to shine. We are happy for you to use AI responsibly as a tool to generate and communicate your ideas clearly, but don't expect it to do the heavy lifting for you. We're interested in your thought process, not AI polish.
