Everything to prepare for a Fidelity Investments Canada interview: why the firm, and the questions candidates there reported being asked.
From the inside
Reasons that work in interviews
3 reasons for Fidelity Investments Canada
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.
The analyst development model is the reason: Fidelity is one of very few places that still builds career research analysts rather than rotating people to PM.
Deep fundamental research culture with global sector coverage.
Active management conviction at a time when most large firms have drifted to index.
