One of Canada’s Most Trusted Investment Brands.
At Picton Mahoney Asset Management (PICTON Investments), being alternative isn’t just what we do—it’s who we are.
Founded by industry pioneer David Picton, we’ve spent 20 years challenging conventional wisdom and redefining the investing landscape. As one of Canada’s most trusted investment brands, we are proudly independent—privately run, 100% employee-owned, and deeply committed to delivering results for our clients.
Thinking Alternatively is in Our DNA.
With a team of over 203 bold thinkers—one-third dedicated solely to investment management—we are specialists, not generalists. Managing $16.1 billion for institutional and retail clients, we navigate markets with conviction, resilience, and a forward-thinking approach.
We’re more than investors — we’re innovators. We challenge traditional investment mindsets, constantly pushing the boundaries to achieve our mission: To bring greater certainty to investors.
Our success is built on four guiding principles:
Treat investors’ money like our own.
Redefine the way investors invest.
Be human—always approachable.
Succeed together, one investment at a time.
These aren’t just words—they define how we think, how we invest, and how we work.
Now, we’re entering our next chapter. We’re transforming our brand and reshaping the way the world invests. If you think alternatively, embrace an entrepreneurial spirit, and thrive in a dynamic, bureaucracy-free environment, join us and be part of what’s next.
