We invest funds for the pension plans of the federal public service, the Canadian Forces, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police and the Reserve Force. Headquartered in Ottawa, PSP Investments has its principal business office in Montréal and offices in New York, London and Hong Kong.

Capturing and leading complex global investments requires us to work as one to seize valuable opportunities, in close collaboration with some of the world’s top companies. At PSP Investments, you’ll join a team of motivated and engaged professionals, dedicated to propelling our organization further than ever before.

ABOUT THE TEAM

Our purpose is to combine a pursuit of industry-leading returns with a commitment to social responsibility. In the North American Private Equity team, this is reflected in a high-quality investment portfolio that has grown over the past several years. Private Equity (“PE”) builds strategic relationships with external fund managers and investment partners, leveraging their networks and sector and geographic expertise to source co-investment opportunities. Our portfolio today consists of investments in a number of companies including, but not limited to : Alix Partners, Convex Group, CrossCountry Consulting, SitusAMC, Lytx, Amwins, Learning Care Group, Alliant, Havea, United Talent Agency and PKF O’Connor Davies.

Our team’s ambition is to be one of the most exciting places to work at, combining teamwork, passion for what we do, care for the global ecosystem and a very high drive for results.

We respect work‑life balance and encourage flexible working.

ABOUT YOUR ROLE

The Analyst’s role is key to the PE team on all aspects of the PE investment process and portfolio monitoring (including origination, analysis, execution and asset management) for both co‑investments and fund investments.

Our co‑investment style usually entails partnering with leading private equity funds by becoming one of the larger limited partners in the fund and then i) acquiring significant minority stakes with active governance in underlying portfolio companies (our co‑underwrite strategy) and / or ii) investing small minority stakes on a passive basis (our syndicated strategy).

Workdays are highly variable and offer extensive opportunities for growth, from leading co‑underwrite transactions, working on syndications and investing in top‑tier private equity funds across different sectors, geographies and growth stages. Furthermore, with relatively small deal teams, the Analyst will be expected to have a wide range of responsibilities and opportunities to make an impact on transactions.

The position is located in our Montreal office, with a focus on North American transactions and partners, with opportunities to also contribute on European and Asian opportunities and entitles traveling.

As an Analyst, Private Equity , your responsibilities will broadly cover the following :

• Perform preliminary analysis of potential co‑investment and fund opportunities – company and market research, financial and valuation analysis, sector mapping, meetings with prospective partners and advisors, fund track record analysis, industry expert interviews, etc.
• Assist in due diligence – support the team across the various due diligence workstreams on live transactions, helping to assess key investment merits and risks (including commercial, financial, tax, structuring, ESG and other workstreams)
• Build detailed financial models, including extensive sensitivity and LBO analysis
• Participate in the preparation of investment recommendation memorandums for investment approval
• Prepare periodic reports and undertake various analyses on portfolio status and performance, including monitoring financial and operating results of assigned investments and explaining variances against investment plans
