Everything to prepare for a AGF Investments interview: why the firm, and the questions candidates there reported being asked.
From the inside
Reasons that work in interviews
3 reasons for AGF Investments
The firm’s investment philosophy is published and almost no candidate reads it. Quoting a manager’s own stated criteria back to them, with one company you applied it to, beats any structural reason here. Say which part you agree with and, if you can defend it, one part you would push on.
Publicly listed independent, so the economics are disclosed.
Private capital and alternatives build-out alongside traditional funds means the platform is changing.
Mid-sized enough that an analyst is visible.
Firm-specific questions
Why AGF Investments over Mawer Investment Management or Burgundy Asset Management (BMO)?
Anchor your answer in what sets it apart: independent, tsx-listed canadian fund company since 1957; fundamental, quantitative and private investing under one roof; fast-growing alternatives platform, agf capital partners.
Walk me through a recent deal AGF Investments worked on.
For example New Holland Capital, LLC (acquirer, May 26, 2026). Cover the rationale, valuation and what the firm did.
