One of Canada’s Most Trusted Investment Brands.

At Picton Mahoney Asset Management (PICTON Investments) being alternative isn’t just what we do—it’s who we are.

Founded by industry pioneer David Picton, we’ve spent 20 years challenging conventional wisdom and redefining the investing landscape. As one of Canada’s most trusted investment brands, we are proudly independent—privately run, 100% employee-owned, and deeply committed to delivering results for our clients.

Thinking Alternatively is in Our DNA.

With a team of 171 bold thinkers—one-third dedicated solely to investment management—we are specialists, not generalists. Managing $15.7 billion for institutional and retail clients, we navigate markets with conviction, resilience, and a forward-thinking approach.

We’re more than investors — we’re innovators. We challenge traditional investment mindsets, constantly pushing the boundaries to achieve our mission: To bring greater certainty to investors.

Our success is built on four guiding principles:

• Treat investors’ money like our own.

• Redefine the way investors invest.

• Be human—always approachable.

• Succeed together, one investment at a time.

These aren’t just words—they define how we think, how we invest, and how we work.

Now, we’re entering our next chapter. We’re transforming our brand and reshaping the way the world invests. If you think alternatively, embrace an entrepreneurial spirit, and thrive in a dynamic, bureaucracy-free environment, join us and be part of what’s next.

The Opportunity

Your sales career at PICTON Investments begins with the role of Business Development Associate (BDA) — a foundational position based out of our Montreal office, setting the stage for a rewarding career in sales within one of Canada’s most dynamic and entrepreneurial asset management firms!

As a BDA, you’ll have the opportunity to lead, learn, and grow, playing an essential role in supporting territory sales strategies and driving meaningful advisor engagement. You'll be on the front lines of business development, contributing directly to pipeline generation, event execution, and strategic advisor outreach — all while honing your skills in a fast-paced, performance-driven environment.

As our Quebec office continues to evolve, the BDA will temporarily assist with broader sales initiatives and ad hoc support across the Retail Sales team, in addition to their core territory responsibilities. This is more than just a stepping stone — it’s your opportunity to be part of a high-performing team, gain exposure to innovative products and strategies, and make an impact from day one!
