Investment Associate – Private Equity & Credit

Venor is proud to partner with the Halifax Regional Municipality Pension Plan (HRM Pension Plan) in their search for an Investment Associate to join their Private Equity & Credit team.

The HRM Pension Plan has approximately $3.3billion in assets under management, of which around $880million is invested in real assets (real estate and infrastructure). As an institutional investor, the Plan commits capital via primary funds, co‑investments, and secondary transactions.

This role is based in Halifax, Nova Scotia and reports to the Associate Portfolio Manager, Real Assets. You will join a small team dedicated to building and managing portfolios in the real‑assets ecosystem to support the overall pension plan objectives.

• Assist with all aspects of the investing and monitoring process, including fund manager, industry, sector, and valuation analysis.
• Participate in due diligence on new investments, identifying key merits and risks, performing valuation analysis, building and reviewing financial models, and assisting with legal and tax reviews.
• Track existing real estate and infrastructure investments through portfolio performance analysis, monitoring financial and operating results, and interacting with investment partners over time.
• Contribute to various projects related to the Plan’s other investments.
• Perform other administrative tasks as required.

• Strong academic background, ideally a bachelor’s or master’s degree in finance, accounting, economics, or a related quantitative discipline. Candidates with other degrees will be considered if they demonstrate the necessary technical aptitude.
• Excellent communication skills for collaboration within the team and relationship building with external partners.
• High level of personal commitment, intellectual curiosity about investing, and ability to produce high‑quality work with minimal supervision.
• Proactive mindset, strong sense of ownership, and initiative.
• Interest in pursuing professional designations such as the CFA or CAIA is highly valued; the Pension Plan supports ongoing education and credentialing.

Opportunity for challenging and rewarding work in an agile environment with ample opportunities for growth and development as a well‑rounded investor.
