Bloomberg on the former Lundin Mining chief returning to banking with INFOR.
Canadian Investment Bank
Toronto independent advisory investment bank known for special-committee M&A work, with a Calgary energy team.
INFOR Financial is an independent, advisory-focused investment bank founded in 2015 by Neil Selfe and headquartered in Toronto, with a second office in Calgary. It advises on M&A, capital raising, debt advisory and restructuring, and does some merchant banking, with sector coverage spanning financial services, mining, energy, healthcare, consumer and technology. It is known for board and special-committee mandates, such as advising CI Financial's special committee on its take-private by Mubadala Capital and giving the fairness opinion on Kelso's investment in Wellington-Altus. In 2025 it added senior energy and mining bankers, including a Calgary energy principal.

Reasons that work in interviews
4 reasons for INFOR Financial
Punches far above its headcount on large Canadian M&A: a very small team advising on mandates the Big Six compete for.
Pure advisory with no research, trading or lending, so there is nothing to cross-sell and the advice is the entire product.
Founded and run by senior bankers who left larger platforms, which means the work is done by people who have done it before rather than delegated down.
Team size means a junior is on the deal, not on a workstream of the deal.

INFOR Financial works as one generalist team: bankers staff deals across these sectors rather than joining a group, so there is no group to pick when you apply. Small principal-led platform headquartered in Toronto with a Calgary office; it presents four product lines and eight industry sectors, and only debt advisory/restructuring and Western Canada investment banking have a named head.

Summer Analyst · Canada
The independents recruit on their own campus cycles rather than a common one, and the spread is wide: some post in the autumn for the summer after next, while others close as late as the end of January. Postings often sit on school career boards rather than a public careers page, so check both. BSO has not confirmed a timetable for INFOR Financial 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.
Co-op / Off-cycle intern · Canada
Fall and winter terms are a real route in at this size — the classes are smaller than the summer one and the competition is thinner, and a good off-cycle term usually converts. BSO has not confirmed a timetable for INFOR Financial 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.
