OUR PHILOSOPHY:
THE RIGHT INVESTMENT AT THE RIGHT TIME IN THE RIGHT STRUCTURE
Front Street Capital takes a disciplined approach to investment decisions. Idea generation comes from fundamental research, which builds on 20 years of core money management experience. Capital spending cycles are reviewed, themes or trends – economic, geopolitical and industrial – are identified and stocks that are well-positioned to benefit from those trends are selected. Intensive macro-economic analysis is founded on supply/demand conditions in the context of global conditions and on how Canadian players can benefit.
