This is a great job for someone who is eager to build hands-on experience in portfolio management by leveraging their Fixed Income knowledge, gain exposure to global markets, and contribute to climate-focused investment strategies within a collaborative and high-performing team.

A bit about the job:

We are a global asset manager that leverages our insurance heritage, investment expertise, and commitment to sustainability to deliver meaningful wealth and retirement outcomes for investors. With comprehensive capabilities across major asset classes, we offer investment excellence tailored to diverse client needs. Fixed income is at the heart of our business, drawing on deep experience across developed and emerging markets, investment grade, high yield, and liquidity strategies. In addition to pooled strategies, we provide bespoke solutions designed for consistent returns and capital preservation through market cycles.

Based in Toronto, this role sits within our Canadian Fixed Income team, which is part of our global fixed income function. The successful candidate will contribute to the growth of third-party fixed income assets under management, particularly in Canadian Core, Canadian Core Plus, and Canadian Core Plus Climate Transition strategies. You'll gain hands-on experience in portfolio management, develop a broad understanding of global fixed income markets, and engage with climate-related investment strategies. Working closely with our Canadian portfolio managers and collaborating with global teams in Fixed Income, ESG, Risk, and Distribution, you'll support performance and climate goals through market commentary, portfolio analysis, and client reporting. You'll also assist with portfolio adjustments, security evaluations, valuation comparisons, and pitchbook development, while contributing to quantitative approaches in fixed income. Regularly presenting investment ideas to our portfolio management teams will be a key part of your role.

Skills and experience we're looking for:

• You will have graduated from your Bachelor or Master's program in Finance, Economics, or similar subjects. Enrolment in the CFA program would be an asset.
• Demonstrable knowledge of Fixed Income within the Asset Management industry, with exposure to working alongside Portfolio Managers.
• You will need to have a high degree of proficiency with Microsoft Excel (VBA, Macros, etc). Programming skills, e.g. Python would be highly advantageous.
• Exceptional quantitative skills (mathematics, statistics, modelling, etc) and a desire to grow in this area, along with strong verbal and written communication skills.
• Well-developed problem solving and decision-making skills and the ability to work independently.

What you'll get for this role:

• Compelling rewards package including base compensation, eligibility for annual bonus, retirement savings, share plan, health benefits, personal wellness, and volunteer opportunities.
• Outstanding Career Development opportunities.
• We'll support your professional development education.
• Competitive vacation package with the option to purchase 5 extra days off per year
• Employee driven programs focused on gender, LGBTQ+, origins, diversity and inclusion
