Yorkville Asset Management

 In February, Yorkville hosted our 8^th annual Investment Forecast Series across Ottawa and Toronto. The events were well attended with affluent members of the community coming together to hear Hussein Amad, our President & CEO, provide our outlook of 2019. Below are the key takeaways:

• Core to Yorkville’s investment philosophy is our continued investments in the global health care sector;
• The Age of Intelligence (smart technology) is another core strategy;
• Further investment into payment systems and regional US banks;
• Satellite strategies include increasing investments in industrials (defence), infrastructure, shipping, China, and cannabis related to health care.

We also heard from a panel of Yorkville’s finest, discussing new and different investment opportunities available at Yorkville.

Thank you to our clients, friends, and family for their help in making each of these events a great success.

Yorkville was the proud sponsor of the West Lincoln Memorial Hospital Foundation’s National Philanthropy Day dinner in Grimsby, ON. We gathered together to celebrate and understand the meaning behind this day, and to hear from Michel Chikwanine, a former child soldier from the Democratic Republic of Congo. Michel’s story was humbling and inspiring, and we thank him for taking the time to share it with us.

Yorkville recently reached the Founder donor level ($100,000+) with the West Lincoln Memorial Hospital Foundation, which works with the community to help raise funds for West Lincoln Memorial Hospital in Grimsby, ON.

Yorkville was a proud sponsor of the annual UnGala event hosted by Save a Child’s Heart Foundation of Canada this past Wednesday. Over 300 people gathered at Chef’s Assembly Hall in downtown Toronto in support of this great cause.

Save a Child’s Heart Foundation works towards improving the quality and accessibility of cardiac care for children. Through their programs in Israel, they provide life-saving cardiac treatment to children from developing countries and train health care professionals from these countries to have the skills to deliver quality care in their home communities.
