GETTING TO KNOW Capitals Express Investments

We are powered by fundamental research

FUNDAMENTAL RESEARCH

We want to know a company top to bottom. The people and the culture, not just the financials.

We're thought leaders.

Our proprietary, fundamental research goes beyond spreadsheets and third-party ratings to provide distinct global perspectives that give investors and thought leaders an edge.

  • Each year, our investment professionals hold thousands of meetings with companies, including one-on-ones with executives and onsite facilities visits, to help inform their investment decisions.
  • Our macroeconomic, policy and political analysts provide additional insight on geopolitical, trade and economic risks, as well as opportunities. Together, managers and analysts produce thousands of proprietary research reports each year.
Over the course of the year 2022, Capitals Express Investments met with company representatives 21,005 times and produced 16,733 pieces of proprietary research.

Figures reflect totals for the year ending December 31, 2022.

We played a historic role in creating global stock indices.

We created the Capital International indices in the 1960s, now known as the Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI) indices, to help evaluate companies and compare their results with global competitors.

In the 1960s in Geneva, Capitals Express Investments analyst and statistician Nilly Sikorsky helped found the indices that would eventually become the MSCI indices.

We bring fundamental research to Canadian investors.

Everything we do is rooted in deep, proprietary fundamental research, with a rigour that goes beyond spreadsheets and third-party ratings. We provide a distinct global perspective that gives you an edge.
