Our Story

LetkoBrosseau was founded in 1987 as a knowledge-based investment firm. We knew then that a fundamental approach to investing was necessary, and our approach remains unchanged to this day.
We believe that an investment’s intrinsic value is created over the long-term and exercise a strong price discipline to capture as much growth for our clients as possible. Our team of investment professionals use their industry knowledge and diverse backgrounds to generate a holistic understanding of our investments and the environments firms operate in. Using an internal peer review process, we leverage this collective knowledge to determine which investments will allow us to responsibly grow and safeguard clients’ assets.
Not only have we kept pace with the markets during this time, but we have added $13.2 billion in additional value* to client portfolios.


* *Value added represents the excess return over the weighted average of all clients' benchmarks for all assets under management gross of fees from January 1, 1988 to June 30, 2021.
The benchmark represents the weighted average of all clients’ benchmarks. Consists primarily of the FTSE Canada 91 Day T-Bill Total Return Index, FTSE Canada Universe Bond Total Return Index, S&P/TSX Composite Total Return Capped index and MSCI World Total Return Net Index.
