RICHMOND
Corporate Profile
Richmond Equity Management Ltd. is an employee-owned, Alberta-based investment management firm with a proven track record of selecting quality, dividend paying equities. We apply a consistent investment approach, focusing on equities that generate steady long-term earnings and dividend growth while avoiding resource and commodity price exposure. Our unconstrained, bottom-up mandate allows us to deviate from any index and invest across sectors, geography, and market capitalization. We have limited the size of our asset and client base to ensure a direct client relationship with a portfolio manager and to provide personalized service while maximizing our investment choices and total return potential.
Richmond Equity Management Ltd. is registered as an exempt market dealer in Alberta, British Columbia and in Ontario. The Richmond Equity Funds are offered under prospectus exemptions to accredited investors.
