Rally Assets Inc.

Impact is manifested in Rally’s culture in every way, as it is who we are and what we do. Recruitment, retention and performance are probably the 3 top areas of focus.

Every member of our team comes to Rally, and remains with Rally, because they are looking for a different experience within capital markets. They have experienced the discrimination, disillusionment and greed that are so prevalent in finance. And yet they believe deeply that finance can be a force for good and that we can change systems to drive the positive impacts that we seek for people and planet. These individuals are determined and resilient! So they come looking for a company, a culture and a team that reflects their vision, ambition and values. When we recruit for a specific role we often have very large pools of applicants who are drawn to who we are and how we do things differently.

The team at Rally Assets brings together a magical blend of functional skills (portfolio management, investment research, operations, etc.), qualifications (CFA, CIM, CPA, etc.), thematic experience (affordable housing, DEI, climate tech, etc.) and deep personal impact thesis. They also bring their personal lives and lived experience to work. We honour and value all parts of who our team mates are. This shows up in our collaborative and flexible culture, through work sharing & coverage, flexible parental time off & return to work models, and numerous other wellness supports. While fair compensation is part of our recruitment and retention approach, we never lead with compensation and we won’t retain based on compensation. Our team stays at Rally because they love the work they do, they love the team and they feel connected to part of a bigger systemic change.

With exceptional talent and a trusting, connected culture, Rally’s team is able to perform at a high level. Our team is leading the impact frontier with pioneering new models for impact assessment, equity-based diligence, investor contribution, outcome level impact reporting, and impact led portfolio allocation. This work is new, it’s hard and it matters. It requires deeply committed people, in the right environment to continue to push for the change we seek. That is the team at Rally.
