Pembroke Management Ltd.
Dedicated to high-quality growth investing

Pembroke Management has provided investment management services for institutional investors in Canada, the US and Europe since 1968.

Ownership and Alignment – Our investment and business philosophy are rooted in the concepts of ownership and aligned interests. We believe owners act in the long-term interests of their stakeholders. We prefer to invest in companies whose management teams own significant stakes in the companies they manage and whose financial interests are aligned with those of other long-term shareholders. Pembroke is 100% privately owned by the partners who manage its investment portfolios, its operations, and its client service. Our employees and their families are the largest non-institutional owners of the firm’s mutual and pooled funds with over C$100 million invested.

Stability and Experience – Pembroke has three generations of partners in place. The experience we have developed investing for sophisticated institutions around the world is passed from one generation of Pembroke partners to the next. The result for our clients is continuity and consistency in our investment philosophy, our operations, and our client service.

Philosophy – Pembroke is an investment-driven firm. We focus on growth companies with competitive advantages, diverse client bases, and large market opportunities. We have a long-term view and emphasize the importance of backing strong management teams with significant ownership in their own companies, proven records of growing their businesses, successful capital allocation, and respect for minority shareholders. We are research-driven, bottom-up investors and construct high conviction, fully-invested portfolios with high active share.

Process – Security Selection, Portfolio Construction and Risk management.

  • Security Selection: We identify companies with the ability to grow over a long-period of time. These growth companies generally have demonstrable competitive advantages, sound balance sheets, and strong financial records. Their executive teams are usually incentivized to allocate and invest shareholder capital responsibly.
  • Portfolio Construction: We are active, high conviction investors. Our portfolios consist of 45 – 55 well-researched, high quality growth companies selected from a range of sectors. While individual positions may be up to 7%, diversification across sectors creates exposure to multiple areas of economic and company-specific growth opportunities.
  • Portfolio Risk Management: We believe that risk must be continuously measured and monitored. Our risk management efforts focus on uncovering the sources of portfolio risk and enabling appropriate action. The firm’s independent risk officer works closely with the portfolio management team to ensure that capital preservation remains a key element of our decision-making.
