Our Track Record
Our Rating System
Our recommendation system has three tiers:
Buy, Reduce and Sell.
A Buy is expected to generate a meaningful positive return or outperform our analyst’s sector coverage over the next 12 months, while a Reduce is expected to underperform our analyst's sector coverage over that time, and a Sell is expected to generate a meaningful negative return.
Last year, we made 81 Buy recommendations and 53 Reduce/Sell recommendations, with the Buys outperforming the S&P/TSX composite index (including dividends) by 443 basis points, while our Sells underperformed the index by 591 basis points.

What a perfect 30th Anniversary for the 30th Annual Buddies Open Charity Golf Tourney.
We had 91 golfers and many of their family members gathered last week to compete over a round of golf, eat, drink and dance to raise over $15,000 for children's cancer charities. We have now raised more than $125,000 for cancer-related charities over the years.
Thanks, everyone, for your support in making this a great event!

We expect lower loan growth in the upcoming results: Bank earnings preview
Nigel D'Souza, our Senior Financial Services Analyst, joined BNN Bloomberg to discuss why investors should look past the headline numbers to areas of concern for the Canadian banks.
"I think what everyone is going to be paying attention to is the net interest margin and what is happening on the funding cost side," he said. "There is a lot of funding pressure at the moment." In Canada, depositors are moving their money from lower-yielding demand and notice deposits (chequing and savings accounts) to term deposits (GICs). That's going to increase funding costs in Canada for the banks.
