Alexander Ernst Ltd.'s investment advisor is JCClark Ltd., a Toronto based 14-person hedge fund management firm.

Founded in 2001 by John Clark and Colin Stewart, JCClark Ltd. (JCClark) is an independent investment firm that manages portfolios of two million dollars or more on behalf of high net worth individuals and families as well as institutional investors and foundations.  JCClark has developed and maintained relationships with thei existing clients for decades.  

Their unique investing approach delivers both protection and growth of capital through various market conditions. The firm is committed to meeting the needs of their clients – by preserving capital, by attaining outstanding risk-adjusted absolute returns, and by maintaining low correlations to the broad equity market indices whenever possible.

By employing a unique value-based strategy that strives to deliver returns in all market conditions, JCClark is able to offer their clients an alternative to more traditional funds whose returns may be highly dependent on overall equity market returns. With this approach, JCClark strives to better manage risk by insulating client portfolios from the vagaries and volatility of the general markets.

The principals of the firm have successfully executed alternative investment strategies for more than 30 years. JCClark believes that all clients should be focused on maximizing long-term absolute returns, rather than short-term relative returns. 

Collectively, JCClark principals and employees are among the largest investors in their funds. This alignment of interests is a key element of a successful long-term relationship with their clients.

JCClark is a participating organization of The Toronto Stock Exchange, a member of the Investment Industry Regulatory Organization of Canada (IIROC) and a Member - Canadian Investor Protection Fund.
