Columbia Threadneedle Investments

Columbia Threadneedle Investments launched as a global brand in 2015, bringing together Ameriprise Financial's Columbia and UK-based Threadneedle investment businesses. It remains Ameriprise Financial's global asset management group.

The firm provides actively managed strategies and solutions for individual, institutional and corporate clients across equities, fixed income, multi-asset, alternatives, real estate and responsible investment. Its platform is built around fundamental research, team-based investment processes and global capabilities across North America, Europe and Asia.

For students, the most distinctive areas are research-intensive active management, multi-asset investing and responsible investment. Columbia Threadneedle integrates ESG analysis and stewardship into relevant investment processes, while its early-careers programme includes a 10-week internship and a 24-month graduate rotation beginning in Global Research.
