Portfolio Manager

Description:

We are seeking an experienced Fixed Income Investment Professional to join our Portfolio Management Team in our Toronto office!

This is an exciting opportunity to take on significant responsibility from day one, co-managing fixed income strategies (both Canadian and global) with a focus on delivering strong risk-adjusted returns. As part of our global fixed income function, you will play a pivotal role in growing third-party AUM across local strategies such as Canadian Core, Canadian Core Plus, and Canadian Core Plus Climate Transition, as well as global mandates.

You will collaborate with colleagues worldwide, leveraging our scale and resources to develop and implement innovative investment strategies, integrate ESG and climate-related factors, and provide thought leadership to internal and external stakeholders. Experience managing any or all of interest rate anticipation strategies, global credit (investment grade, high yield), emerging markets and structured fixed income in addition to Canadian fixed income strategies would be an asset. This role also offers the chance to mentor junior team members, contribute to quantitative approaches, and engage with teams across Research, Investment Risk, and Distribution to deliver superior outcomes for our clients.
