Institutional Sales

Acumen strives to discover promising small cap companies and make introductions of their management and business models to well suited institutional clients. With over 20 years experience covering Canadian and U.S. institutions, Acumen's sales group is committed to developing and maintaining long-term relationships, both with the companies that we follow and with our institutional clients.

Acumen's institutional coverage extends across Canada. Acumen has led or participated in a number of institutionally dominant transactions. The institutional sales group has been very active in putting the companies we follow in front of fund managers on a regular and timely basis through meetings and conference calls.

Acumen's solid research is being augmented by a knowledgeable sales presence, to ensure institutional players are fully aware of emerging ideas principally in the $40 million to $750 million market-cap company space.

Institutional Trading

As a correspondent of National Bank Financial ("NBF"), Acumen has access to NBF's in-house trading expertise and capabilities. NBF (broker 80) is one of the top institutional block trading firms in Canada. Acumen also has its own in-house experts to augment NBF's service. These in-house experts maintain regular contact with the trading desks of other investment dealers and the institutions that trade and hold shares of small market capitalization issuers followed by Acumen.
