Investment Associate, Intermediated Financial

7 months ago

London, United Kingdom CDC Group Full time

**Our mission and objectives**
- British International Investment is the UK’s development finance institution, owned by the UK Government. We invest with the aim of solving the biggest global development challenges by investing patient, flexible capital to support private sector growth and innovation.
- We have 75 years of experience successfully supporting the sustainable, long-term growth of businesses in Africa and Asia, and have recently expanded to invest in the Indo-Pacific and Caribbean.
- We invest to achieve impact and a financial return which is then reinvested for more impact. Over the past five years, we have committed £7 billion of new investments, with our net assets growing in value to approximately £8.1 billion. We are now invested in 1,400 businesses which directly employ over 950,000 workers and support many more. Over the next five years, we plan to grow further, and aim to commit around £9 billion of new investments over the period.
- Our current five-year strategy responds to the opportunities and challenges facing developing and emerging economies. To ensure our capital is used in the best way possible to meet these opportunities and challenges, it sets out three clear strategic objectives - to invest in productive, sustainable and inclusive development. These objectives mean an increased focus on climate finance, including investing in green infrastructure; on financing digital transformation; and on driving inclusive outcomes, including through gender and diversity finance.
- We changed our name to British International Investment in 2022, to more accurately reflect our central role in the UK Government’s international financing offer.
- In the last few years, we have expanded our presence in Africa and Asia by opening new offices in Bangladesh, Egypt, Kenya, Nepal, Nigeria, Pakistan, Ghana and Singapore; with further expansion planned.
- We take an entrepreneurial approach to investment. We think innovatively about ways to deploy our capital, attract, and mobilise other investors, and drive transformational impact.
- Deliver impact. We are a team of over 600 and place immense value on diversity within our organisation.

BII’s investment activities are organised across 3 principal groups:

- **Financial Services Group** - this group oversees our investment activity via financial institutions and into financial services companies (further detail provided below).
- **Infrastructure and Climate Group** - this group oversees our investment activity in energy sectors and wider infrastructure sectors such as transport. They also develop our capability in climate-focused investing.
- **Industries, Technology and Services Group - **this group oversees our investment activity in other sectors including manufacturing, telecommunications, and agriculture.

**Team and role overview**

**Purpose**
- The Financial Services Group (FSG) plays a key role in contributing towards inclusive development, including filling the SME financing gap and supporting the inclusion of significant numbers of people that remain unbanked, particularly women. With the full product suite within one department - from fund investing to providing equity, debt and trade finance - the group decides how to invest BII’s capital into financial services for the most impact.

There are 5 job levels in our teams - Associate, Executive, Manager, Director & Team Head. We are looking to hire an Associate to be London based.

Within the Financial Services Group, the Intermediated Financial Services team is responsible for originating and executing:

- Structured credit transactions: using new credit vehicles, securitizations, CLOs, tranched structures, guarantees, etc. to channel capital into markets which BII cannot adequately reach with existing products and/or to mobilise commercial investors into our markets.
- Risk-sharing facilities (RSFs): with partner financial institutions, with the aim of enhancing access to credit for target segments (e.g. MFIs, SMEs).
- Private credit funds (PCFs): broadening BII’s fund investing capability to include private credit funds, primarily in Africa, to catalyse the growth of this nascent asset class - with a particular focus on mobilising commercial investors.
- Private Equity Funds - Investing in and managing a portfolio of private equity funds, which invest in the financial services sector, including fintech / digital financial services.
- Co-investments - Investing in underlying portfolio companies alongside the funds we have invested in.
- Alternative vehicles - Setting up alternative vehicles (e.g. single managed accounts, side-cars) with mission-aligned, best-in-class strategic and financial partners.
- Platforms - Establishing BII-backed companies that invest in or lend to SMEs.

This role will primarily be focused on supporting the team’s investments through debt products.
