The new hires keep coming at Dundee Capital Markets as the indie dealer prepares a management buyout from parent, Dundee Corp.
Dundee has drafted a number of new faces for its small Montreal office – historically a market in which it has had a strong presence.
Daniel Pearlstein will join Dundee as a specialty pharma and special situations analyst on May 9, according to an e-mail sent to staff on Tuesday. He was previously a life sciences analyst with boutique brokerage M Partners. Mr. Pearlstein will be based in Montreal.
In a seperate e-mail, Dundee announced it has also hired Kevin Maurice to join the sales team as a vice-president in Montreal. He had spent the past seven years at buy-side firm Optimum Management in a senior analyst role. He starts on May 16.
Dundee's Montreal office had seen some turnover over the last year. In 2015, the brokerage parted ways with a number of institutional sales veterans, including Rachel Goldman and Pierre Lévesque. Both eventually resurfaced at rival broker Desjardins Securities Inc.
Dundee Capital Markets in the process of being spun out from its parent company. The transaction, which was first reported by The Globe and Mail in January, is expected to be completed in the second half of this year. The potential for new hires to own equity in the firm is something that Dundee has said it hopes will allow it to attract top-tier talent.
On Monday, Dundee announced it had hired three senior equity analysts: Phil Skolnick to cover energy, Steve Theriault in financial services and Tal Woolley as consumer products analyst.
