Experience

We have safely and profitably navigated our clients' portfolios through the high inflation environment of the 1970s, the oil shocks of 1979 and 1986, the high interest rate environment of the early 1980s, the market crash of 1987, the end of the Cold War, the Japanese market bubble of the late 1980s, the Gulf War, the Asian Crisis, two Quebec referenda, the Russian currency crisis and the demise of Long Term Capital of 1998, the Tech bubble of the late 1990s, the Tech bubble burst of 2000, the Terrorist attacks of 2001, and the Credit Crisis of 2008/2009. Throughout, we have provided consistent, steady portfolio management for our clients based on a solid, proven investment philosophy and disciplined processes.

We are an independent, privately owned company, free from the constraints of outside ownership. While we benefit from the research of many investment companies around the world, we rely on our own independent in-house research and analysis. And, because investment management is our only business, we are able to focus on our primary objective: to preserve and create wealth for our clients.
