The portfolios we construct for clients are often very different than the status quo (60% stocks / 40% bonds portfolio). Our clients are often surprised to learn how substantial the changes in their portfolios are after beginning to work with us.
We Work With Specialists
Each asset class in our portfolios is sub-advised by an institutional investment manager that we’ve selected. This approach allows us to focus on the geographies, asset classes and risk exposures we deem most attractive while allowing specialists to select the individual securities for each market.
We Take A Global Perspective
Canada comprises a relatively small portion of the global financial markets. Our global perspective uncovers opportunities that are often missed out on by traditional portfolios concentrated only in Canada and the United States.
We Make Evidence-Based Decisions
Our portfolios are built using data driven models grounded by empirically proven strategies. We filter our behavioural biases, replace them with intellectual honesty and commit wholly to what the evidence is suggesting.
