McElvaine Value Fund

For advisors

A specialist sleeve for client portfolios.

You provide comprehensive wealth management. We provide one thing: disciplined deep value investing, done the same way since 1996. As a component of a client portfolio, the fund offers genuine differentiation: a concentrated, contrarian mandate that behaves unlike the index and unlike closet-index active funds.

The case

Why clients hold it

  • A 30-year track record under the founding manager, in the Peter Cundill deep value tradition. FundGrade A+ Awards in 2022 and 2023 (disclosure).
  • Genuine diversification: concentrated holdings, willingness to hold cash, low overlap with mainstream Canadian equity funds.
  • Alignment your clients can verify: together with their families, the managers are the fund's largest investor, on the same fee schedule.
  • A fee structure built for the CRM3 era: about 1.1% all-in in an ordinary year, in line with typical F-class funds, and it rises only in a year the client has made more than 7.5%.
