A global asset manager with a major London presence, offering the Investment20/20 trainee and graduate programmes and summer internships.
Columbia Threadneedle Investments is an asset manager that offers actively managed investment strategies and solutions to individual, institutional and corporate clients. Its UK teams include investment research, equities, distribution and business development.
The firm's stated values are Client Focus, Excellence, Integrity and Respect. We did not find a separate mission statement.
A directory listing places the company in London. Its trainee listing mentions roles in London and Darlington, though the listing for the equities trainee role did not name a location itself. We were not able to confirm a full list of UK offices.
The firm describes a collaborative, inclusive environment with flexible working, and lists Business Resource Networks such as a Young Professionals Network, a Black Employee Network and a PRIDE Network. It also describes a "global, fast-paced environment" that values teamwork. These are the company's own claims.
Its UK early careers page describes a 10-week internship and a 24-month rotational graduate programme (12 months in Global Research, then two rotations in other investment departments), with encouragement to take CFA Level 1. The dates shown were for the 2024/25 cycle, so check for current dates. A separate Investment20/20 trainee listing offers at least a 12-month paid job, with pay not stated for that role. Related listings showed salaries of £24,800 (Darlington, graduate trainee in financial services) and £30,000 (London, business development analyst), which are different roles.
