CPP and OMERS both have a rotational program - I heard teachers hire directly into groups as of rn, but very rare and even in the case that they do, it's offers given to previous interns. I also know of BCI hiring analysts straight from undergrad but they're HQ'ed in Victoria, so that may be a downside for some people. Personally, I'd take a pension fund over an ib position, but with the ib position I believe it does open more doors. However, in terms of competitiveness, I think it is much harder to get a spot in a pension than it is to get a spot in banking, due to the limited number of positions available.
I think their real estate arm, QuadReal, is based out of Vancouver though which isn't as bad
OMERS and CPP have rotational programs for graduates; Teachers has direct placements into groups. Other pension funds don't hire directly out of school; they usually hire out of IBs.
anybody know of comp at OMERS/CPP/OTPP for the new grad positions? When OMERS rotational program started 3 years ago they tried to pay something like $120-130 all in which was apparently relatively low and people complained about
OMERS pays 120-130k all in for analysts. Not sure about CPP though
