Investment Strategy
Beyond Financing: Our Strategic Investment Approach
Our Partners is a private, independent, and diversified company.
Building on our heritage and inspired by our business success, we have diversified our operations by investing in various companies across strategic sectors.
Just as we have demonstrated our expertise in financing, we work with the industry’s best managers to take calculated risks. Our investments have consistently delivered returns superior to market averages since 2005.
Calculated Diversification Driven by Success
Inspired by the success of our homeownership program—a unique initiative combining guidance and down payment financing—our investments translate into diverse, thoughtful, and lucrative participations.
Through the acquisition of shares in corporations and chartered banks, we maintain an optimal balance between risk and return. Our investments are primarily, but not exclusively, in the finance and real estate sectors.
Global Investment Perspective
These investments are made in Quebec and Canadian companies as well as international enterprises. Whether majority stakes or smaller participations, our investments can be both short and long-term in nature.
Since we do not require public financing and our partners shares are not traded on any stock exchange, we are not exposed to the constraints imposed by governmental entities regulating investments. This allows us to make instantaneous decisions leading to profitable actions more rapidly than our competitors.
Investment Philosophy
Our investment approach is guided by three core principles:
1. Strategic Alignment
We seek investments that complement our existing expertise in finance and real estate while exploring adjacent opportunities with strong growth potential.
2. Management Quality
We prioritize partnerships with exceptional management teams with proven track records. The quality of leadership is often the determining factor in our investment decisions.
3. Value Creation
Rather than focusing solely on quarterly performance, we take a long-term view of value creation, often providing strategic guidance and industry connections to accelerate growth.
