We recently celebrated our 21st anniversary as a firm. We started with a plan to just “tell the truth”. There was so much doubt about our vision because research was perceived to be free. But one thing is certain; we’ve never stopped learning.
We have proven that high-quality, independent research is key to making sound investment decisions. I believed it then and believe it even more so now. What we’ve built is an organization and culture focused on helping our clients make better investments. Whether that is through our research, our training, our portfolios, or taking an active role in representing Canadian investors on accounting or regulatory boards, we want to be a source of great ideas, sober second thoughts and the truth behind what is in the numbers.
None of this would be possible without all of your that believed in us. We have so many people to thank in our journey. I’d like to express deep gratitude on behalf of my 15 partners.
