Small Toronto institutional dealer combining focused research, trading and small-cap equity financings.
Clarus Securities is a small, single-office institutional investment dealer in Toronto's Exchange Tower that works on small-cap growth companies. It covers four segments: mining, growth and innovation, technology and specialty healthcare, and diversified/energy. It keeps a deliberately short research coverage list and aims to be a leading trader in the stocks it covers. Its bankers lead or co-lead private placements, bought deals and IPOs and also advise on M&A and fairness opinions. The official team page lists 23 people, so junior roles are few and close to senior bankers.

Reasons that work in interviews
3 reasons for Clarus Securities
At this size the interviewer is usually a founding partner, so a reason assembled from the firm’s homepage will not survive. Build the answer from four things instead, in order: one named transaction from their tombstones and what you found interesting about it; who you would report to, and what you want to learn from them specifically; why small, in your own words, tied to something you have actually done; and why this sector or region, if the firm has one.
Independent small-cap ECM across technology and resources with a high financing count.
The firm is small enough that your work reaches the client.
Independent ownership means the firm takes mandates on conviction rather than on a parent's balance sheet policy.

Clarus Securities works as one generalist team: bankers staff deals across these sectors rather than joining a group, so there is no group to pick when you apply. Toronto-only dealer that says it specialises in four segments, shared by its research and investment banking; its recent deals are grouped under the same four headings. The team pages list bankers generically ("Investment Banking"), not by sector.
