Launch of a quant international equity fund with an Active ETF Series on the TSX; AUM stated as over $26 billion at May 31, 2026.
Investment Management
iA Financial Group's advisor-sold mutual fund and Active ETF Series manufacturer, headquartered in Toronto.
IA Clarington is the retail fund arm of iA Financial Group, selling actively managed mutual funds, managed portfolios, Active ETF Series and socially responsible funds to Canadians through financial advisors. It reported over $26 billion in assets under management at May 31, 2026, and has offices in Toronto, Montreal, Calgary and Vancouver. Day-to-day portfolio management of its funds is done by sibling iA Global Asset Management and external sub-advisors such as Loomis Sayles, Agile Investment Management, QV Investors and Vancity Investment Management, so roles at IA Clarington itself centre on product, distribution, finance, compliance and operations.

Reasons that work in interviews
3 reasons for IA Clarington
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.
Retail fund platform backed by a large insurer, so distribution is stable.
Multi-manager structure means exposure to several investment approaches.
Smaller than the bank-owned managers, so visibility is higher.

Summer Analyst · Canada
Mid-sized managers take a small number of students a year, often into research or operations rather than a named analyst programme, and frequently through a school's co-op office rather than a public posting. BSO has not confirmed a timetable for IA Clarington 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.
