Everything to prepare for a Ewing Morris & Co. interview: why the firm, and the questions candidates there reported being asked.
From the inside
Reasons that work in interviews
3 reasons for Ewing Morris & Co.
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.
Founded by two young investors who built the firm from nothing, which is an unusually motivating origin story to engage with.
Small-cap value and credit strategies in less-covered Canadian names.
Very small team, so an analyst's work goes directly into the portfolio.
