Summer 2027 - Winter 2028
Applications for the upcoming PSMIF team open around November for Equity Analyst, Portfolio Manager, and Executive positions (CIO, COO, CRO). These roles are open to current 2nd, 3rd, and 4th year Asper students
Junior Equity Analyst applications open for 1st year students, including University 1 students planning to transfer into Asper. Students who received a conditional offer in the Fall complete any remaining required courses, such as FIN 3002 Applied Asset Management.
The new PSMIF team begins its term in May and is active through the Fall and Winter terms. Junior Equity Analysts take FIN 2010 in the Fall and FIN 3002 in the Winter of their term.
How recruitment works
-
There are 2 rounds in the recruitment process. Round 1 includes the online application along with a submission of your resume and web transcript. Selected applicants will then move on to Round 2, which consists of a 30-minute interview including both behavioural and technical questions.
-
Those selected from Round 2 will be given a conditional offer to the fund. Offers are confirmed once you complete any required courses still in progress (such as FIN 3002 Applied Asset Management, formerly FIN 4230) with a grade of B+ or higher. PSMIF positions carry a 12-month term from May 1 to April 30. Co-op and/or work terms can be accommodated for all positions except Executive roles.
-
If a position opens after recruitment closes, additional interviews may be held. Candidates must still meet all requirements for that position.
-
PSMIF works around internships and co-op terms during Fall and Winter for analyst and portfolio manager roles. Executives cannot take part in internships or co-op during their Fall or Winter term. Summer internships are welcomed and encouraged for every position.
