BMO Capital Markets is the investment bank of Bank of Montreal. Most of its banking business is in Canada and the US, and it has a strong name in metals and mining, where it's advised on a lot of the industry's deals.
Is it a realistic application from the UK?
BMO's London office is smaller than RBC's and focused on certain sectors. Most undergraduate hiring is in Toronto, New York and Chicago. If you're at a UK university and can work in Canada or the US, it's worth an application. If not, it's probably not a priority.
If you do apply
- Lead with anything related to natural resources: a geology or engineering degree, a mining-sector internship, a stock pitch on a miner. That's a CV BMO will read carefully.
- Follow the North American recruiting timeline, which runs early.
- Use a North American resume format if you're applying to Canada or the US: GPA if strong, no photo, no date of birth.
