Investment Banking Analyst (Toronto, ON)

A career in investment banking, done differently.

Elevating investment banking isn’t only about our clients. Though we know our approach makes for a better client experience, it’s also about making sure Fort Capital fosters an environment in which our team can thrive, personally and professionally.

In our business, the hours can be long; we spend a lot of time here, and together. So we go to great lengths to ensure that it feels like a comfortable, kind and even fun place to be. Everyone talks about our offices, which feel a bit like a coworking space, a bit like a newsroom, a bit like the kitchen in a high-end home (the kind with beer and wine on tap). What it doesn’t feel like is a bank, or a boiler room. It’s a place people gather, not because they have to but because they want to. Which is exactly what we had in mind.

We believe we can create careers in investment banking that do not sacrifice wellbeing, flexibility, and work/life integration. In short, we want to provide the best of investment banking, while being mindful to minimize the worst of it. In doing this, we believe we can attract professionals who are like-minded when it comes to our values, but have diverse experiences, backgrounds, and goals.
