EDMONTON, AB--(Marketwired - August 02, 2017) - Raintree Capital Inc., parent company of Raintree Financial Solutions (an award winning Canadian Private Capital Markets Dealer), announced the latest expansion of its Core + Explore™ investment philosophy with the launch of portfolio management arm Raintree Wealth Management (RWM).
Through its subsidiaries, Raintree Capital Inc., can now provide an end-to-end service by helping clients manage all their wealth.
"Investors are bombarded with information that can cloud their thoughts, feelings and decisions. Most of this information has little value and results in short-term thinking and often poor decision-making. Raintree Wealth Management takes a long-term perspective. We focus on the information that matters and ignore what doesn't. The result is an ability to face portfolio construction and difficult investing decisions with logic rather than emotion," says Peter Kinkaide, CEO of Raintree Wealth Management.
"We use a valuation framework, which is critical in avoiding our emotional and behavioral biases that can influence investment decisions," adds Kinkaide. "We objectively examine today's markets (equities, fixed income or any other) relative to reasonable, long run expectations and decompose markets into the three components that form the basis of all returns; income, growth and valuation. We examine each independently with the goal of gaining insight into current market conditions so that we position our client's portfolios most appropriately."
RWM focuses on the 'Core' portion of a client's portfolio by offering traditional, publicly traded, liquid securities for clients with a minimum of $100,000 of investable assets.
Raintree Wealth Management has partnered with four leading Canadian Investment Managers to bring institutional-level talent and experience to bear in each of their respective specialties. Raintree Wealth Management's team includes ETF Capital Management, Polar Asset Management Partners, Leon Frazer & Associates and Foyston, Gordon & Payne.
To complement Raintree Wealth Management's more conservative investment approach, Raintree Financial Solutions will continue to play a critical role in the 'Explore' component of clients' portfolios. Raintree Financial Solutions offers private investments with the goal of providing increased diversification and enhanced risk-adjusted returns.
Peter Kinkaide (bio located here), currently CEO of Raintree Capital Inc., leads the new company as CEO and Greg Bainbridge (bio located here), formerly Director of Corporate Finance, holds the dual role of CIO and CCO.
"It is very rewarding to continually expand our business in our efforts to create a truly holistic financial services firm where financial advisors can thrive, providing a full service experience to our clients," says Kinkaide.
