ATB Financial Launches ATB Cormark Capital Markets (opens in a new tab)
Following the December close, ATB Capital Markets and Cormark began going to market as one integrated firm.

Canadian Investment Bank
ATB Financial's full-service capital markets arm, combining the Alberta-rooted ATB Capital Markets with Toronto independent dealer Cormark Securities.
ATB Cormark Capital Markets is the capital markets brand of ATB Financial, offering investment banking, corporate banking, FICC, institutional equities and equity research from offices in Calgary, Edmonton and Toronto (plus Denver). The platform was formed in 2020 from ATB Corporate Financial Services and AltaCorp Capital, and grew in December 2025 when ATB closed its acquisition of Cormark Securities, a Toronto- and Calgary-based independent dealer founded in 1981; the combined firm launched under the ATB Cormark name in February 2026. Its sector focus is energy, life sciences and diversified industries, and its research covers more than 300 North American companies. For students, it offers a bank-backed, full-service platform owned by Alberta-based ATB Financial, with offices in both Calgary and Toronto.

Reasons that work in interviews
4 reasons for ATB Cormark Capital Markets
An Alberta Crown-owned bank combined with a research-led independent dealer is a structure nobody else has, and the integration is recent enough to still be forming.
Energy and Western Canadian issuers are the natural client base, with genuine Calgary presence rather than a coverage desk.
Cormark's research reputation means the sell-side view here carries weight with institutions.
Small platform, so a junior is close to both the research and the banking side.
