Investment Objective

The primary objective of the strategy is the achievement of long-term growth of capital through investments in a concentrated portfolio of high-quality Canadian companies.

Investment Approach

The Guardian Canadian Focused Strategy is an index-agnostic Canadian Equity portfolio composed of 15 to 20 high-quality growth companies, trading at attractive valuations and differentiated by varying economic drivers. The investment philosophy is applied through a bottom-up fundamental research process that analyzes the quality, valuation and diversification attributes for each company. Our valuation work focuses on the current earnings power of each business and how it is expected to change over time. Using an approach that focuses on select opportunities, the team is able to dedicate more time researching each company, which builds conviction in terms of opportunity and risk.
