Investment Objectives

The objective the Fund is to achieve long term returns (alpha) outpacing the market and its peer group. The sacrifice for achieving large returns (alpha) is that portfolios will experience short term volatility and match market risk (beta).

Investment Strategy

The Primevest fund is a resources-focused long/short equity fund with a long bias. Positions are selected based on bottom-up analysis and deep domain expertise. At times the fund holds meaningful positions in non-resource special situations in the small and mid-capitalized space primarily listed on the Canadian markets. A concentrated portfolio is typical with the top five holdings often representing up to 40% of the portfolio.
