Anson Funds careers

Founded in Toronto, Anson Funds is a multi-strategy hedge fund that specializes in event-driven, activist, and value-oriented investing. Over the past 15+ years, the firm has established itself as one of Canada’s most dynamic alternative investment managers, consistently uncovering opportunities where markets misprice risk or overlook structural value.

Anson manages capital for a select group of single-family offices and ultra-high-net-worth individuals, maintaining relationships built on performance, trust, and direct engagement. More than 90% of its capital has been with the firm for over a decade, reflecting a philosophy that prioritizes long-term “sticky” capital over rapid fundraising.

Anson’s investment approach is generalist in scope but rigorous in execution. The firm operates a master-feeder structure, utilizing both onshore and offshore vehicles, which provides flexibility to serve Canadian, U.S., and international investors. Its portfolio spans public equities, credit, real estate, and special situations, with a proven record of generating returns independent of market direction.

The firm has also become a force in Canadian real estate activism. Through the Anson Arch Tactical REIT Fund, Anson has recruited top talent from across the industry, including former REIT mutual fund managers, to capitalize on mispriced assets. Its recent activism campaign at InterRent REIT led to a $2 billion privatization by GIC, one of the world’s largest sovereign wealth funds—demonstrating Anson’s ability to catalyze outcomes that unlock value for shareholders.

Co-founder Moez Kassam built Anson on complementary strengths: entrepreneurial energy and seasoned judgment. Today, Anson continues to grow by sticking to its roots: finding asymmetric opportunities, aligning with entrepreneurial investors, and approaching markets with the conviction that discipline and creativity win over time.
