YMG Capital Management Inc. was founded in 1983. Today the firm has approximately $15 billion in assets under management and employs 47 investment professionals and support staff with offices in Toronto and Montreal.

Established and known for providing disciplined quantitative strategies, product innovation and dedication to a high level of client service, the firm is one of the leading providers of immunization strategies, active fixed income, tactical asset allocation, tactical currency allocation and non-cash investment management in Canada.

Our experience in customizing fixed income solutions for some of the largest insurance companies, endowments, foundations and pension plans has formed the basis for our reputation as one of the premier quantitative risk controlled managers in Canada.

In 1992, YMG entered into a licensing arrangement with First Quadrant out of Pasadena whereby YMG markets and distributes First Quadrant's tactical asset allocation and active currency processes to the Canadian pension community. These quantitative products use rigorous research techniques to identify fundamentally based drivers of capital market activity.

YMG's active institutional product offerings also include Canadian equities, balanced, income trusts and high yield fixed income. All are bottom-up, fundamentally based valuation driven products.

Investment Philosophy

We believe in fundamental investment concepts that rely on established economic and financial valuation principles, because we feel that fundamentally based processes best match the objectives of long term investors. We bring these ideas together using proven quantitative tools in order to serve each client's specific goals and risk tolerance.
