A Different Kind of Value Investing
Turtle Creek is a Toronto-based, independent equity investment manager focused on long term capital growth for a clientele of high-net worth families, institutions and wealth advisors. The firm’s asset under management have grown to US$4 billion over the last 26 years, most of which is managed according to a single strategy that is now available in a UCITS fund. Over the long term, Turtle Creek has consistently outperformed the market. While doing so, the firm works at minimizing risk through a deep and thorough understanding of each of its investments, combined with a unique position management process that seeks to continuously optimize its portfolios – for both risk and return. Furthermore, Turtle Creek’s co-founding partners are aligned to a degree that few other firms can match: all of their investable wealth is alongside the firm’s clients.
Michael leads Turtle Creek’s business development efforts and is responsible for many of the firm’s client relationships. Before joining Turtle Creek in 2013, Michael was a consultant to a U.S. futures exchange for business development initiatives in Canada and a Director at a global investment bank. Prior to that, Michael spent nearly two decades at the investment banking subsidiary of a Canadian bank, where he was a Managing Director and Head of Canadian Fixed Income Sales.
