Our Principles
Equium Capital was created with the needs of today’s investor front of mind. Founded on five core principles, which permeate every aspect of the firm’s culture, Equium Capital consistently applies its investment process to conservatively protect and grow capital over time in a way that is fully aligned with clients. We believe a modern, best-in-class asset manager should be the embodiment of:
At Equium Capital, we believe our success is an outcome of delivering positive results for clients while maintaining open and constructive relationships with all of our partners and stakeholders. We view these principles as integral to both long-term value creation for our investors as well as the success and longevity of our firm. We’re in this together.
Our Approach
Equium Capital’s consistent results, driven by more than three decades of investing experience, are grounded in a philosophy of equilibrium, one that balances innovation with conservatism and return with risk. With our wealth invested alongside that of our clients', we are fully aligned and motivated to continue executing this process with a deep level of accountability.
Our consistent approach was originally created by pulling together the best elements of the founders’ experience in both traditional fund management and alternative investing strategies. Our principals bring a consistent investment process with reliable discipline to an under-appreciated area of the Canadian investing landscape: Private Equity in Real Estate.
In essence, our overarching investment philosophy combines the following core attributes:
Conservatism: Our most important job is protecting your capital; every investment we offer is underpinned by a deep understanding of and commitment to prudent risk management.
The Big Picture: We examine the merits and risks of every project. We further analyze those details in the context of current and foreseeable macro-economic and business cycle influences.
Multi-Developer Approach: We believe strongly in working with the best developers in each asset class and in each geography. This also helps clients avoid over-concentrating developers.
