Sponsors teams in Canada

Which Canadian banks in Toronto have sponsor coverage teams? I'm not talking about sponsor lending/ sponsor finance, but an actual Investment Banking sponsor team. I know that TD has one, as does RBC, and Scotia has one that it combines with infra. Any other Canadian banks in this space? 

Also interested in WLB and type of work in these groups, as I'm curious about sponsors coverage as a career.

Based on the most helpful WSO content, TD, RBC, and Scotiabank are noted to have sponsor coverage teams in Canada. Specifically:

  • TD: Known to have a dedicated sponsor coverage team.
  • RBC: Also has a sponsor coverage team.
  • Scotiabank: Combines its sponsor coverage team with infrastructure.

As for other Canadian banks, there isn't specific mention of additional sponsor coverage teams in the WSO dataset. If you're exploring this as a career, sponsor coverage typically involves working closely with private equity firms, focusing on deal origination and execution. Work-life balance (WLB) can vary significantly depending on the bank and team culture, but sponsor coverage roles often involve long hours due to the high-pressure nature of the work.

If you're looking for more detailed insights, it might be worth networking with professionals in these teams or exploring further discussions on WSO.

Scotia and BMO have sponsor coverage teams, but they’re considered commercial banking; not Investment banking.
