Martin Currie Investment Management Ltd

Martin Currie is a specialist investment management business based in Edinburgh, Scotland. Employee-owned and enterprising, we manage £10.4 billion* in active equity portfolios for clients across Europe, North America and around the world. Our clients include financial institutions, charities, foundations, pension funds and investment trusts, and our collective funds include an Oeic, Sicav and a range of hedge funds.

As ‘The Big Boutique’, we blend the best attributes of both large and small investment managers. Our vibrant, entrepreneurial culture means we can act quickly to meet the needs of our growing number of clients.

We offer graduate positions leading to a variety of roles. Applicants may wish to become investment managers working in geographical teams or as global sector research specialists. But we would also like to hear from graduates interested working in other parts of our rapidly growing business, such as our dealing team. We can offer genuine challenges, excellent financial rewards and personal fulfilment.

Our trainees undertake a structured development programme that focuses on fostering an understanding of Martin Currie's business. The programme also provides the opportunity to pursue professional studies (the IMC and CFA Levels 1, 2 and 3), to play an active part in the analysis of companies and industrial sectors and to generate investment recommendations for our portfolios. At Martin Currie, we place a strong emphasis on developing and applying leadership skills at an early stage in your career.

The majority of Martin Currie’s team is located in Edinburgh, the hub of our business activity, although we also have offices in New York, London, Melbourne, Zurich and Singapore, as well as local research in Asia.

Edinburgh is the second-largest financial centre in the UK and combines the dynamism and cultural life of a capital city with the quality of life of a smaller town. This makes it the perfect home for Martin Currie, a company combining the best qualities of large and small investment managers.
