From the inside
Reasons that work in interviews
3 reasons for Fiera Capital
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.
Montreal-headquartered with global public and private market strategies, which is a wider platform than most Canadian managers.
Publicly listed, so the strategy and the restructuring are both readable before you interview.
Private markets capability alongside traditional management.
