HeyMontrusco: On a visit to Canada

Our exclusive video series "Fund Partners in Focus" provides a glimpse behind the scenes. As we visit our fund partners, we present them in a relaxed and informal setting and introduce you to the bright minds in fund management. What drives their success? What's their investment strategy and where do they draw their inspiration from?

We invite you to join us on our journey, this time to our Canadian fund partner Montrusco Bolton from Montreal.

HeyMontrusco: Who are the bright minds behind the quality growth investor?


They have such diverse skillsets, life experiences and academic backgrounds, they talk things through, and follow their convictions - ultimately, they draw their best investment ideas from three sources: the team diversity and the rich dialogues they have together, their interactions with the management teams of the companies, colleagues, family, and friends, and finally their openness and the passion which drives their lives. For Montrusco's global equity team, Montreal is the perfect city: besides its financial hub, it offers room for independent minds and innovative ideas.

HeyMontrusco: Growth potential and quality are the decisive investment criteria


“Growth would be awesome if we had an infinite number of Earths." – says Jean David Meloche, Head of Global Equities, Montrusco Bolton. Whenever the team interacts with management teams, sustainability must come up. They like to seek companies that have various entry: big moats, structural advantages, and even structural growth drivers. They are looking for companies that are leading the change in their industry or participating in that change. Pricing power is also very important to them. To make the right decision as a team, the global equity team is focusing on not being swayed by emotion and openly dealing with mistakes and learn from them.

HeyMontrusco: ESG requires a rethink


Montrusco Bolton manages a concentrated high-conviction portfolio whose securities are closely screened for ESG criteria. They tend to hold 28 to 40 global names and they reduce risk through ESG analysis and monitoring. The investment team is convinced that investing in sustainability does not mean sacrificing investment returns, and that honesty and transparency can create successful long-term partnerships.
