Private Equity · Private Credit
Toronto-listed investor and asset manager running private equity (Onex Partners, ONCAP) and credit (Onex Credit) funds alongside its own balance sheet, now anchored by a majority stake in insurer Convex.
Onex was formed in 1984 and has been listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange since 1987. It earns returns two ways: investing its own capital (now led by a roughly 63% stake in specialty insurer Convex, acquired with AIG in February 2026) and managing third-party money in private equity and credit funds for pensions, sovereign funds, insurers, advisors' clients and wealthy families. Its private equity arms are Onex Partners (upper-middle market, North America and Europe) and ONCAP (lower-middle market, North America), while Onex Credit is best known for structured credit and CLOs. Founder Gerry Schwartz handed the CEO role to Bobby Le Blanc in 2023, remains chairman, and his multiple-voting-share control ended in May 2026.

Flagship private equity platform focused on the upper-middle market in North America and Europe, organized by sector (aerospace and aviation, business services, financial services, packaging and industrials).

Lower mid-market private equity platform investing in North American businesses in consumer, industrials and services. ONCAP V closed at US$1.3 billion in April 2025 (including US$250 million from Onex), with third-party capital up more than 50%; at that time ONCAP reported 39 employees and US$3.5 billion of assets across Toronto and New York. Co-led by Adam Shantz and Stephen Marshall with Michael Lay as Executive Chair.
Credit platform spanning structured credit (CLOs), liquid, opportunistic, direct lending and asset-backed strategies plus managed accounts, with US$31.1 billion AUM at year-end 2025. Priced 28 CLOs totalling about US$12 billion in 2025 and exited the year with US$60 million of run-rate fee-related earnings. Led by New York-based Ronnie Jaber.
Specialty property and casualty insurer/reinsurer founded in 2019 with Onex Partners V as founding investor. In February 2026 Onex bought a direct ~63% stake alongside AIG (~35%) at a US$7 billion equity valuation; Convex is now Onex's largest single source of investing capital value.
Distribution arm offering Onex strategies to Canadian registered dealers and advisors, including Canadian public mutual funds managed by Onex Canada Asset Management Inc. (e.g. Onex High Yield Bond Fund (Canada), Onex U.S. Equity Fund, Onex Global Special Situations Alternative Fund) and private credit strategies such as Onex Senior Credit and Onex Direct Lending.
Firm-wide fundraising and investor relations group that raises capital across the Onex platforms and develops new alternative products; 17 profiles listed on the team page across Toronto, New York and London.
Private credit manager acquired in 2020 and merged into Onex Credit; separated in 2024 to operate independently under its own managing partners, with Onex keeping a 20% interest and future carried interest participation.

Reasons that work in interviews
5 reasons for Onex
Several distinct businesses under one name (large-cap buyouts, ONCAP mid-market, credit, public equities, wealth), so the seat you take determines the job far more than the brand does.
On the public equities side: very small team running concentrated positions, roughly a name a month, which means real diligence rather than administrative support.
Long-short and special situations exposure in a Canadian seat is rare, and the smaller-cap mandate suits anyone who likes less-covered names.
Juniors are expected to have opinions and are given responsibility once they demonstrate judgement rather than on a timetable.
Publicly listed, so the strategy and performance are disclosed: read the shareholder letters before interviewing.
Unlock the full insights for Onex: every round, the topics tested and what candidates experienced
How juniors get in
Onex Partners and ONCAP hire Associates after two to four years of investment banking; their team pages show no Analysts, so there is no confirmed undergraduate or new-graduate route onto the private equity deal teams.
Green: evidence it does. Struck through: evidence it doesn’t. Dashed: no public evidence either way.

Associate (post-banking / post-PE) · Toronto
ONCAP posts a standing Associate listing that it says is for future openings rather than a current vacancy. It asks for 2–4 years in investment banking, private equity or similar, strong DCF/LBO modelling and valuation skills, and covers the full deal cycle from sourcing to exit in consumer, services and industrials, plus portfolio work. The listing notes AI-enabled screening tools may be used, but not as the only basis for decisions.
Associate · Toronto, New York, London
Not a formal published program. The official team pages list 11 Onex Partners Associates (all joining 2025–2026) and 7 ONCAP Associates (6 with 2024–2026 start years). All 18 came from investment banking (M&A, restructuring, leveraged finance) or another investor, mostly TD Securities, RBC, CIBC, BMO, Morgan Stanley, J.P. Morgan, Evercore, Jefferies and Citi, suggesting a regular intake of 2–3-year bankers. No analyst title appears on either PE team; analysts appear only in Credit and Client & Product Solutions.
