Investment Banking Internship – Institutional Sales & Capital Markets (On-Site, London)
Swiss Finance is offering an on-site Investment Banking Internship in London focused on institutional sales, capital introduction, and investor engagement for private placement of debt, equity and hedge fund LP stakes. This role reflects the institutional sales side of investment banking, involving outreach to investors, allocator research, and early-stage bookbuilding-style workflows.
This is designed for students and recent graduates or career changes seeking real investment banking experience (but others are welcome to apply). Swiss Finance operates internationally and supports affiliated brands with active operations in London, New York, Zurich, Stockholm, and other financial hubs.
This opportunity is structured as a selective institute-based professional training programme offered by Britannica Capital Institute and Swiss Finance Institute, providing exposure comparable to elite internships in an educational (non-employment) context, and leveraging decades of institutional training frameworks developed through Swiss Finance Academy.
This internship is unpaid, following European practical training norms, with substantial real investment banking experience.
About the Role
You will support the institutional sales function within Swiss Finance. Your work will focus on sourcing and engaging allocators, conducting outreach, and supporting capital introduction and bookbuilding-style activities for our clients and affiliates.
