Hedge Fund
Small Toronto firm run by ex-Burgundy executives, managing a single concentrated U.S. small-cap fund.
0 open roles0 deals3 people7 sources
CRIMSON Asset Management is an independent, investor-led Toronto firm co-founded by Ken Jesudian, former CEO of Burgundy Asset Management, and Anthony Ferrari, a former Burgundy partner. It runs one strategy: a concentrated portfolio of 20 to 30 U.S. small-cap stocks, marketed to Canadian and U.S. investors as a specialist second manager; Bloomberg reported the fund's inception as 2018. The team is very small (three named executives plus a research team), so opportunities are rare and likely to be research-analyst roles for people interested in fundamental U.S. small-cap investing.
A single fund that narrows a universe of about 11,000 U.S. small caps to a focus list of roughly 200 and a portfolio of 20 to 30 holdings bought at a margin of safety.

Reasons that work in interviews
Expect the real question underneath to be “why this strategy”, then “why this platform within it”. Have a view on long/short versus multi-manager versus event-driven before you have a view on the firm, and bring one idea you can defend.
There is little reliable public material on Crimson Asset Management, and an answer assembled from a homepage will not survive a founding partner. Build it from one named transaction, who you would report to, and why you want a team this small.
Establish first: the strategy, assets under management and team, then build the answer from the philosophy they state.

Summer Analyst · Canada
Canadian funds take students in ones and twos and almost never post it. The way in is a pitch: a name you can argue, sent to somebody who reads it. BSO has not confirmed a timetable for Crimson Asset Management on an official page: this records that the intake exists and what the category's cycle looks like, not a published date. Confirm with the firm before you plan around it.
