We manage c.£2bn of assets AUM across private and public markets, investing into areas including renewable energy, healthcare, specialist lending and a range of listed companies. Our vision is to be a leader in our chosen markets, so that we can deliver attractive, risk-adjusted returns by investing in assets and businesses that contribute to a better future.


Downing is similarly committed to its role as a responsible investor and has integrated the consideration of sustainability factors across each of our strategic and investment decision making processes.


We monitor ESG performance and consistently look to improve through various responsible investment policies and by being active signatories to several industry frameworks, including UNPRI, UKSIF, ICGN, IIGCC and the UK Stewardship Code.


Diversity is important to us, and we see the benefits that having a team with a range of backgrounds and perspectives can bring. We are bold and ambitious, straightforward and we support each other. These core values are vital to everything we do – from the businesses we invest in, to the people we hire.


About the team

Downing has a strategic objective to meaningfully grow its assets under management by raising capital from institutional investors. The Institutional Solutions team sits at the heart of this, working closely with our investment teams and our various departmental centres of expertise.

This role would be well suited to a proactive individual with an interest in a career in finance or sales. The right candidate will have strong attention to detail, organisational skills and be deadline oriented.


Your responsibilities will include:


  • Preparing quarterly updates to the ‘master presentation decks’ and website for Downing and the respective investment strategies.
  • Contributing to the creation of tailored high-quality sales documents and other collateral for Downing’s various new institutional offerings.
  • Conduct research on market trends, industry developments, and competitive landscapes.
  • Collaborate with senior members of the team to evaluate the risk and return profiles of investment prospects.
  • Analyse financial statements, including balance sheets, income statements, and cash flow statements.
  • Support the sales outreach process by drafting and personalising investor outreach emails, as well as attending sales meetings and conferences
  • Ensure the CRM is consistently updated with accurate investor information, interactions and follow-up activities to maintain organised and effective communication records.


Key skills and experience

  • A desire to learn about the business and product range, and to work in a fast-paced entrepreneurial environment.
  • Intermediate proficiency and previous experience working in PowerPoint and Excel.
  • A willingness to get involved in new projects and learn on the go
