Opportunity
AIMCo’s Public Equities team provides core asset class exposure to Canadian and global equity markets. The team combines internally and externally managed strategies to help meet our clients’ objectives. Internally managed investments include Systematic, Alpha, and Fundamental strategies that currently invest in more than 45 countries around the world. Externally-managed investments include long-only equity and hedge fund strategies and are employed in areas where internal management does not offer a competitive or cost advantage.
Within Public Equities, the Portfolio Construction team helps bring these strategies together, along with other types of strategies, to offer performant products to clients within our risk tolerance at competitive costs. The Beta Management team manages the asset class’s index exposures. Each of these teams is seeking an intern for Summer 2027.
Note: This is a 4-month, full-time term from May 2027 through August 2027.
