Specialist Hedge Fund Recruitment Across Canada
AP Executive works across Canada's hedge fund and wider institutional investment market, identifying professionals from hedge funds, asset managers, pension investment organisations, private markets firms, banks and other sophisticated investment businesses.
In Toronto, we recruit across hedge funds, institutional asset management and alternative investments, including Portfolio Managers, investment leaders, quantitative professionals and senior corporate functions.
In Montreal, we support searches across alternative investments, asset management, quantitative strategies and institutional investment, drawing on both English- and French-speaking talent where relevant to the mandate.

In Calgary, we support mandates requiring expertise across investment management, commodities, energy, natural resources and capital markets, alongside wider senior investment and leadership searches.

Access to Canada's Wider Investment Talent Pool
The most suitable professional for a hedge fund appointment may not necessarily come from another hedge fund.
Canada has a deep institutional investment market, and relevant candidates may be identified within asset management, pension investment, private markets, banking, proprietary trading and other investment organisations.
AP Executive therefore focuses on the underlying experience required for each mandate, including investment responsibility, strategy exposure, risk discipline, leadership capability and organisational fit.
This broader approach can be particularly valuable for senior investment, quantitative, risk, operational and investor-relations appointments.
Canadian and International Executive Search
Highly specialised appointments often require a broader search.
AP Executive can combine candidate research across Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver, Calgary and the wider Canadian market with international searches across New York, Boston, Chicago, London and other major financial centres.
This enables clients to consider the strongest relevant professionals regardless of their current location.
Research-Led Executive Search
Senior hedge fund recruitment frequently requires direct engagement with professionals who are well established and not actively seeking a move.
Our approach can include:
Market mapping
Peer and competitor research
Direct identification of relevant professionals
Confidential approaches
National and international candidate research
Candidate assessment
Shortlist management
Interview and appointment support
We focus on identifying a considered group of candidates whose experience is genuinely relevant to the role and the investment environment in which they will operate.
Confidential Search
AP Executive supports sensitive assignments involving succession, replacement hires, new investment strategies, team development and business expansion.
These searches can be conducted confidentially, with candidate approaches and the release of client information managed carefully throughout the process.
