About the Role
This is a rare chance to launch your investment career at the heart of one of the most established primary investment franchises in private markets. As an Analyst on our London Primary Investments Team, you will sit alongside experienced investors evaluating the best private equity and venture capital funds in Europe and beyond – the managers backing the companies shaping the future economy. From day one, you will be a genuine member of the deal team: forming a view on managers, interrogating track records, and helping decide where our clients’ capital is committed. You will gain exposure across the full breadth of private markets – buyout, growth, and venture, across geographies and sectors – building the judgement and network that define a long-term career as an investor.
Responsibilities
- Evaluate investment opportunities – assess private equity and venture capital funds, forming a view on manager quality, strategy, and the durability of their edge.
- Dig into the numbers – analyse fund and portfolio performance, track records, value creation, and attribution to understand what truly drives returns.
- Build the investment case – contribute your analysis and conclusions directly to investment memoranda that go in front of our investment committee.
- Develop market intelligence – build a proprietary, forward-looking view of managers, sectors, and themes across European private markets, becoming a genuine expert in your coverage areas.
- Conduct due diligence – play a hands-on role in researching and interrogating new opportunities, working directly with GPs and the broader market.
- Partner across the firm – collaborate with investment colleagues globally and engage with clients and managers, building the relationships that are central to this industry.
Requirements
- A curious, driven and self-motivated outlook and be able to demonstrate these qualities through a record of achievement, whether academic, professional or self-directed.
- Genuine enthusiasm for private equity and venture capital, and a desire to learn what makes great investors and great companies.
- Sharp analytical ability and strong written communication, with confidence in Excel and PowerPoint.
- Proficiency in the use of AI tools to enhance research, analysis and productivity is also expected.
- A collaborative approach – someone who thinks creatively, and thrives as part of a team.
- A professional presence and strong interpersonal skills to engage effectively with colleagues, clients, and managers.
