Groundlayer Capital Inc.

Overview

Groundlayer Capital Inc. is an independent, employee-owned alternative fund manager based in Toronto, Canada. The firm focuses on generating long-term capital gains by investing in equities of mid-sized North American companies. Since its inception in 2002, Groundlayer Capital has a history of outperforming North American equity markets with similar levels of volatility. The firm invests only where it has an advantage—be it a skills-based advantage, an information or knowledge advantage, or one that comes from taking a longer-term view. The firm's investment strategy is centered on areas of expertise, embracing complexity, and maintaining a superior long-term risk/reward profile compared to index-tracking ETFs. Groundlayer Capital manages three funds: a Canadian-domiciled fund for Canadian residents, a US-domiciled fund for US residents, and a Cayman-domiciled fund for all others. These funds are managed pari passu, aiming to generate long-term capital gains by investing in equities of mid-sized North American companies. The funds' returns (net of fees) have exceeded North American equity market returns while maintaining broadly similar volatility levels, achieved largely without leverage. The investment team at Groundlayer Capital has remained intact since the firm's founding in 2002, providing continuity and stability, as well as a shared investment philosophy and culture. The team is compact and nimble, ensuring that future growth does not come at the expense of superior investment returns. Groundlayer Capital is a member of the Alternative Investment Management Association (AIMA) Canada, reflecting its commitment to industry standards and best practices. The firm's contact information is available on its official website, including a contact form for inquiries.
