Reasons that work in interviews
3 reasons for CIBC Global Asset Management
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.
Institutional and retail under one roof inside a bank, so you see both ends of the distribution chain.
Multi-strategy with specialist teams rather than a single house view.
Smaller than the largest bank managers, which means more visibility per analyst.
