Founding Partner and Board Director at Alignvest Management Corporation - Toronto, ON, CA
Alignvest Management Corporation is a private investment company focused on long term value creation. AMC seeks to invest in businesses that possess sustainable competitive advantages, are led by highly capable management teams that have track records of value creation, have demonstrated resiliency through economic cycles, and have highly scalable business models that generate attractive returns on invested capital. Since its founding, AMC has invested in a number of businesses across industries that include telecom, real estate, insurance, healthcare, and asset management.Our firm's structure is unusual in that we have a permanent base of capital that is owned and controlled entirely by Alignvest Management Corporation. This enables us to evaluate opportunities using an unconstrained time horizon, creating optimal solutions for existing business owners and management teams. In addition, and depending on the size of an investment, we sometimes seek to partner with others who can add significant value to our portfolio companies. Since its inception, AMC has raised over $1.5 billion of third-party capital from institutions, family offices, and ultrahigh net worth individuals to invest alongside our own. As any third-party capital we raise is investment specific, we always ensure that our capital partners are fully aligned and share our long-term vision.Our team's broad range of expertise as investment professionals, business builders, and corporate executives provides us with a valuable perspective on a company's opportunities and challenges, and the permanent nature of our capital affords us significantly more flexibility than most traditional direct investors.
