Ventum Capital Markets is a leading independent full-service investment bank, offering an integrated platform of equity research, sales & trading and investment banking services. We offer conflict-free advice, award-winning research across 100+ names, and a leading dedicated debt capital markets team among Canada’s independent dealers. Our focus is to build long-term client relationships and deliver tailored solutions across public and private markets through the depth of our platform and expertise.
Built for the Mid-Market.
Most issuers in Canada’s small- and mid-cap segment are too important to ignore and too small to be a priority at the big banks. That’s the market we’re built for. We bring senior-banker attention to every mandate, sector research that actually moves the names we cover, and the independence to give you advice that isn’t conflicted by a larger institutional agenda.
We work with public and private companies across mining, energy, technology, healthcare, real estate, and diversified industries — from first financings to going-private transactions, debt capital markets and debt advisory, acquisition and sale advisory, hostile defense, and complex restructurings.
Investment Banking
We offer a full suite of investment banking services including equity and debt capital raising and M&A and strategic advisory for publicly-traded and private companies in Canada. Senior bankers on every deal, start to finish.
Equity Research
Award-winning equity research team with coverage of 100+ Canadian companies, focused on the high-growth, small- and mid-cap names other shops overlook.
Institutional Sales & Trading
Our Institutional Sales team services a full spectrum of Institutional investors, utilizing a research-driven sales philosophy. Our sales professionals, located in Toronto, Vancouver, and Montreal, serve Institutional clients throughout North America and Europe. Our institutional sales desk maintains relationships with over 1,000 funds across the globe.

Independent.
We’re Canadian-owned and independent. Our conflict-free advice serves your transaction, not a parent bank’s balance sheet or a competing institutional priority.
Research that reaches Investors.
Our analysts cover 100+ names and our sales desk puts that research in front of the institutional investors who buy your story. Banking, research, and distribution work as one.
Senior Bankers, Professional Support.
Senior bankers lead every mandate and stay on the file from pitch to close — you work with the people who win the business, not a rotating cast of juniors. Behind them, a dedicated support team handles execution, diligence, and process management so nothing slips. You get senior judgment and full-service horsepower on every deal, regardless of size.
Leading Debt Capital Markets Group.
We are one of the few independent CIRO dealers with a dedicated and highly-experienced Debt Capital Markets (DCM) team – structuring and placing high-yield, private credit, structured-note, and bespoke fixed-income solutions for mid-market issuers, including first-time and complex-situation borrowers.
Strong Sector Expertise
We organize around the sectors we know best. Each pairs senior banking coverage with dedicated research analysts who know the names, the management teams, and the investors.
