Fondaction Asset Management • Canada • Added on Oct 29, 2026
Apply →

This investment adviser supports the development and management of funds focused on natural capital and environmental markets. The work connects financial analysis with fund design, investment review and portfolio oversight, helping the team assess opportunities and maintain sound financial and impact performance across its platforms.

The role sits where capital allocation meets climate action and nature-positive investment. Fondaction Gestion d’actifs directs investor capital toward areas such as carbon markets, agriculture, forestry and ecosystem restoration, seeking both financial returns and measurable environmental and social outcomes. This means financial models and portfolio decisions can help shape how funding reaches projects supporting a more sustainable economy.

This suits someone who combines strong financial modelling and investment analysis with an interest in natural capital, environmental markets or related sectors, and who can work across finance, impact and fund governance.

Job FAQs

What are the main missions and responsibilities of this role?

The role supports the investment team with financial models for new fund concepts, analysis of prospective investments, market research and fund structuring. It also helps monitor existing funds through performance analysis, quarterly financial and extra-financial reporting, and support for fund governance bodies. A broader goal is to contribute to portfolio quality, returns, governance and impact across strategies focused on natural capital and environmental markets.

Key learning opportunities for this job

The position could build practical experience in investment fund design, financial modelling, due diligence and portfolio performance analysis. Exposure to natural capital and environmental markets may deepen understanding of how agriculture, forestry, carbon markets and ecosystem outcomes are assessed within an investment framework. Working with investment directors and fund governance processes could also develop skills in investor reporting, ESG and impact analysis, and communicating financial information to decision-makers. The posting does not specify formal training or certification support.

How does the ideal candidate look like (experience, skills)?

The posting seeks a candidate with a relevant bachelor's degree and 5-10 years of experience, ideally in investment, asset management, funds, corporate finance or project development. Experience connected to infrastructure, natural capital, environmental markets, agriculture, forestry or real estate is an advantage. Strong financial modelling, analysis and judgment are central, alongside advanced Excel and PowerPoint skills. French and English fluency is required. A graduate degree or CPA, CFA or CBV designation is considered an asset; teamwork, autonomy and sound synthesis skills are also valued.

Advice to stand out and make a successful application

Use the CV and motivation letter requested in the posting to connect your investment experience directly to natural capital or environmental markets. Give concise examples of financial models you built or maintained, investment analyses you completed, and how your work informed fund or project decisions. Where relevant, explain how you have assessed environmental or social outcomes alongside financial performance. Mention any experience with portfolio reporting, governance committees or due diligence, and show how you communicate complex analyses in both French and English.

What aspects of the company's sustainability is this role likely to focus on?

The sustainability focus is likely to come through the funds and investments the role supports: natural capital, carbon markets, sustainable agriculture and forestry, circular economy and energy efficiency. The natural capital team seeks investments that combine financial performance with climate resilience, sustainable production and ecosystem restoration. The position contributes through ESG and impact analysis and extra-financial fund reporting. Its influence is therefore connected to how funds assess and track environmental and social outcomes, although the posting does not specify particular metrics or targets.

What are the main challenges someone in this role might face?

A likely challenge is balancing financial returns, portfolio quality and impact objectives when assessing funds and investments across sectors with different risk profiles and evidence standards. New fund concepts may also require analysis despite incomplete market data or evolving environmental-market conditions. The role spans detailed modelling, reporting and governance support, so accuracy and clear communication will matter across several workstreams. Translating environmental and impact considerations into consistent investment analysis could require close coordination with colleagues and fund stakeholders.

How could a typical day look like for someone in this position?

A typical day could involve updating a fund model, checking investment assumptions or running sensitivity analyses, followed by research into a market or potential fund strategy. The adviser may also review portfolio performance and help prepare quarterly financial and impact reporting. Some days could include coordination with investment directors or colleagues on due diligence, fund structuring or materials for an investment committee or board. The balance would likely shift with reporting deadlines and active investment opportunities.

What are the opportunities for professional growth and development in this role?

The role could deepen expertise in fund management and investment analysis while building sector knowledge in natural capital and environmental markets. Participation in new fund structuring may provide exposure to strategy development, product design and the financial considerations behind impact-oriented investment vehicles. Over time, experience across due diligence, portfolio management, ESG analysis and governance could support progression into broader investment responsibilities or specialist work in sustainable finance. The posting does not state a formal promotion pathway.

The main stakeholders you might be interacting with

The closest collaborators are the Managing Directors of Investment and other members of Fondaction Gestion d’actifs's investment team. The adviser also supports the governance bodies of funds, including boards of directors and investment committees, through reporting and meeting preparation. Depending on the fund and investment process, interactions could extend to portfolio companies or project teams, investors and other fund participants. The posting confirms the internal investment and governance relationships but does not detail external stakeholder groups.
