Montreal Investment Banking Showcase
The Montreal Investment Banking Showcase is a 2-round competition where aspiring investment bankers will pitch potential M&A investments and execute a specific buy-side mandate in a real-world corporate finance setting.
We invite driven and ambitious students who are passionate about investment banking to showcase their skills in front of leading firms, forging valuable connections and paving the way for their future careers in finance.
