Our firm is built around our portfolio managers, not a committee. We are decisive and accountable. We've operated this way since 1982. You deal directly with the people managing your capital. No layers. No intermediaries.
Your portfolio won't look like an index. That's by design. Our approach is not replicable by indices or models. It demands independent research, deep conviction, and the willingness to stand apart.
We own 25 companies we know intimately, not a broad list we know superficially. Deep knowledge reduces risk. We typically hold for five years or longer to benefit from long-term compounding.
We explain the investment thesis for every holding: why we own it, what we expect, and what would cause us to exit. You're never surprised by portfolio changes because we communicate them proactively. We provide detailed quarterly reporting and are available for direct discussion with your investment committee or board at any time.
We own what you own. Same positions. Same risk. Same reward. Every decision affects our net worth identically to yours.
The firm has meaningful capacity. We can triple the Canadian assets before concentration becomes a constraint, with even greater room in the US.
