Investment Objectives

Market Neutral, absolute return strategy, Low correlation to the broader markets, Preservation of capital and sustainable returns, Target annual net returns of 8% with lower volatility than equities.

Investment Strategy

Leverage institutional process across Large & Small Cap Canada and opportunistic US exposure. Removes constraints (long-only, domestic-only, benchmark) to pursue highest conviction opportunities. Trade construction to eliminate beta, and isolate alpha. Diversified sources of alpha that are less correlated to market returns (or attractive complement to traditional portfolios).
