May 2025-August 2025

We are looking for an Intern to join our Developed Markets Fixed Income & Foreign Exchange (DMFIFX) team. Based in our brand-new downtown office in Toronto, you will be a part of the team focused on global Fixed Income investing, playing a role in the team's active risk-taking process, and supporting portfolio managers.

DMFIFX is a dynamic, alpha-focused team with an excellent track record in deploying risk under a wide variety of trading strategies. The team has built a best-in-class global risk-taking platform with a focus on generating uncorrelated returns through dynamic and scalable strategies.

Who You’ll Work With

The DMFIFX team is a small group of seven specialized investment professionals who take active risk both individually and collaboratively across macro directional, relative value, and model-assisted discretionary strategies within the G10 sovereign and sub-sovereign fixed income space.

As part of a dynamic trading floor environment, you will also be exposed to the different asset classes and styles of active risk-taking within the broader Capital Markets department through regular interactions with other portfolio managers.

What You’ll Do

Reporting to a portfolio manager, you will gain exposure to a wide variety of strategies incorporating bonds, swaps, swaptions, futures, and inflation-linked products.

Stemming from our team's culture, you will be encouraged to seek a deep understanding of drivers and the structure of fixed income markets and use this information to form your own views and seek opportunities. You will also participate in a term-length portfolio management case to develop your investment skills while exploring products and strategies of other teams across Capital Markets.

Responsibilities Include

• Work with portfolio managers to support the construction and testing of new investment strategies
