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.
