Calm. Clarity. Discipline.

We carry the weight so you don't have to, through a structured, disciplined approach to managing your wealth built around your goals and your life.

Our Process Investment Philosophy Our Team Fees Investor Discovery Investor Portal

As a discretionary investment counsel, Goodreid carries the weight of managing your portfolio so you can focus on what matters most, with the confidence that your money is in expert hands.

We begin every client relationship with the Goodreid Investor Discovery, a structured process that uncovers your financial goals, personal risk tolerance, and individual circumstances. From there, we build your Investor Roadmap and construct a personalized portfolio aligned to your objectives.

We invest exclusively in individual securities across our proprietary portfolio models: U.S. Large Cap Equities, Canadian Large Cap Equities, U.S. Small Cap Equities, and Canadian Dividend Equities. Fixed income products are added as needed to balance risk and meet each client’s asset mix requirements. Most clients employ a balanced approach across these asset classes, though we also manage specialized accounts for clients with specific mandates.

What we believe

Investment Philosophy

Goodreid’s investment philosophy, “quality investments at the right price”, offers a foundation for long-term financial success. In order to integrate this investment philosophy into a managed portfolio approach tailored specifically to your needs we must take these additional steps into account:

  • Establish a disciplined planning approach called Goodreid Investor Discovery which results in a personalized asset mix intended to achieve long-term investment goals
  • Integrate both quantitative and qualitative inputs into the investment process in order to balance risk and reward
  • Adhere to a disciplined investment process to achieve consistent performance
  • Rely on the belief that long-term earnings and cash flow growth is the most critical factor in determining superior long-term equity performance
  • Adhere to a responsive and decisive sell discipline in order to attain superior returns
  • Invest in “quality” companies with clear competitive advantages to enhance long-term returns

Who manages your money

Investment Team Structure

Goodreid’s investment team is made up of highly qualified professionals holding recognized industry designations including CFA, CPA and financial planning credentials. Our client-facing and market-facing professionals are all registered Portfolio Managers with provincial securities regulators, and Goodreid Investment Counsel Corp. is registered in all Canadian provinces.

Unlike a broker or financial advisor who sells products, a Portfolio Manager is a registered professional with a fiduciary obligation to put your interests first. At Goodreid, your dedicated Portfolio Manager is your direct point of contact, committed to regular check-ins and building a long-term relationship with you and your family.

Market Facing Portfolio Managers

Goodreid’s ‘market-facing’ portfolio managers are primarily responsible for making the investment decisions for all Goodreid clients. They manage Goodreid’s U.S. & Canadian portfolios and lead portfolio model construction, investment research, risk management, and support our client-facing team.
