Reasons that work in interviews
3 reasons for Dynamic Funds / 1832 Asset Management

Portfolio managers run their funds with real autonomy inside a bank, which is an unusual combination.
Scotiabank distribution behind independent-feeling investment teams.
Strong retail brand with named managers rather than a house view.
