GENERATION PMCA PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT
Stewards of your wealth
From one generation to the next
Since its establishment in 1999 (following the founding of its affiliated firm, Generation IACP Inc., in 1998), Generation PMCA has maintained its culture of investment excellence. The investment landscape has changed dramatically, yet Generation PMCA has stayed at the forefront by continuously improving its analytics and numerous proprietary investment systems.
Experience
The firm’s portfolio managers and analysts bring years of experience to asset allocation, portfolio construction, security selection and client service.
Independence
Simply put, our goal is to grow and protect your wealth. As an independent firm, we are not incentivized to sell expensive investment products that are not right for you.
History of Innovation
Our team has a long history of building innovative proprietary research systems, investment methodologies, and risk management systems.
Global
U.S. and Canada comprise only about half of global stock market capitalization. Our go anywhere approach provides more opportunities.
Fundamental Research
As value investors we invest in companies that we believe are temporarily trading below our estimated appraised values. We prefer businesses with strong competitive advantages led by management teams incentivized to maximize return on capital.
Risk Management
We monitor global economies and markets to alert us to potential economic downturns or severe market declines.
