History

Founded in Winnipeg, Manitoba, in August 1992, Cardinal Capital Management, Inc. is an independent portfolio management firm providing conservative investment management services to clients across North America. Cardinal’s clients include high net worth private clients as well as pension funds, trusts, mutual funds, foundations, and other institutional investors. Cardinal has offices in Winnipeg, Brandon, Calgary and Toronto. With over $3.8 billion in assets under management as at December 31, 2022, the firm offers extensive expertise in the management of equity, balanced, and fixed-income accounts using Canadian and U.S. stocks and Canadian bonds.

Cardinal is built on a strong foundation of investment management experience and expertise. Since the firm’s early days, Cardinal’s team has been driven by a commitment to superlative research, exceptional customer service, meaningful community service, and an unwavering desire to do what is best for our clients and their families.

Value Investment Philosophy

Our value investment philosophy provides investors with the peace of mind that comes with low volatility in a portfolio that can still benefit from market growth. Using fundamental analysis, we determine what quality companies to buy and we never want to pay too much to own them.

At Cardinal, we believe that holding balanced, diversified portfolios of high-quality stocks and bonds with an eye to long-term performance is the best way to achieve superior investment performance.

We generally invest in conservative, large-capitalization stocks selling at below-average price/earnings (P/E) ratios and above-average dividend yields. Our portfolios generally consist of 20-35 of such stocks, and have a material difference from the benchmark index.

Our primary investment objective is to earn consistent, above-average returns for our clients while assuming below-average risk and volatility.
