An independent RRSP, TFSA and RESP eligible value fund for Canadians
Tim founded our fund in 1996
Proven value approach
We are invested too
Fees linked to performance
I want the same thing as you. I want my retirement savings to be safe and grow. Of course, no one can guarantee how their fund will perform. What I can say is I am invested alongside you with 100% of our RRSPs. McElvaine Value Fund is not a job but my focus.
I have been value investing for over 30 years; I started working with value guru Peter Cundill in 1991. In 1996, I formed McElvaine Value Fund (formerly The McElvaine Investment Trust) as an investment fund for my family and friends with a simple principle: our money would be invested alongside our clients, same fund, same fees. In 2019, we began offering the fund under prospectus which allows like minded investors (hopefully you) to invest with us.
​
Finally, and most importantly, you are my partner. If you have questions or just want to talk, please schedule a call or send an email. I am always happy to chat.

Every Investment Portfolio should have a Value Fund
They might not be sexy, but a focused value fund can provide performance as well as diversification. Diversification is achieved by our fund owning different stocks than most investors.
The key is finding the right fund. A portfolio manager who is experienced. A portfolio manager who is not an employee but an owner. A structure which rewards performance and not getting bigger.
Fortunately that is us! Tim has been value investing for over 30 years. First with renowned value guru Peter Cundill. In 1996, Tim founded McElvaine Value Fund (originally called The McElvaine Investment Trust).
