Investment Strategy
The investments are actively managed in order to provide
a long term return derived mostly from capital
appreciation by investing in a diversified portfolio of
Canadian stocks. Security selection favours companies
undervalued relative to their growth prospects based on
bottom-up, fundamental research. This strategy is
designed to be transparent and disciplined with the
primary goal of delivering consistent performance while
controlling portfolio risk.
