Company Summary
Rempart Asset Management specializes in discretionary investment management for individuals, private corporations and foundations. Our firm takes a professional approach to diversified portfolio management that features discipline, a focus on quality, and conservative risk management.
It is Rempart’s mission to provide steady performance with relatively low volatility. This is accomplished through a cash-flow oriented investment approach with research conducted by Rempart’s investment professionals.
Rempart is a fully independent firm owned by its founding partners. Rempart emphasizes a disciplined team approach to the management of its clients’ portfolios.
The Rempart team has worked closely together since 2003, with each of its five portfolio managers having several decades of investment management experience.
Rempart is headquartered in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, and has a branch office in Toronto, Ontario. The firm is duly registered as a portfolio management company with most of the provincial securities commissions across Canada and with the Securities and Exchange Commission in the United States. It also serves clients internationally.
At Rempart, we create investment portfolios tailored to the specific client and managed on a segregated basis. We do this by incorporating each client’s unique circumstances into his or her own distinctive investment policy. Existing holdings, income requirements, tax considerations, time horizon and growth objectives are all taken into account in this process.
We believe the individual circumstance of each investor is a key determinant in the portfolio construction process.
Investment portfolios are managed on a disciplined basis with two cs and a portfolio administrator involved with the management and service of each client portfolio.

Unique Value Proposition
At Rempart, we invest in companies, not markets. To this end, equity investment follows stringent criteria, with research conducted in-house by our senior investment professionals.
The primary focus of our research is the generation and application of free cash flow. This process, which we term “Tracking the Cash”, concentrates on companies that generate significant amounts of free cash flow. These tend to be businesses that are non-cyclical in nature, are market leaders, generate consistent and stable corporate growth, have strong balance sheets and solid management with proven records.
“Tracking the Cash” goes beyond cash flow generation. The manner in which a company applies its cash to the benefit all stakeholders, namely its employees, customers and shareholders, is of critical importance. To this end, we focus on companies that use their free cash flow intelligently, by investing in fixed capital additions, strengthening their financial position by buying back shares or increasing dividends. Experienced management, balance sheet strength and proper allocation of cash flow are crucial to investing for growth and managing risk.
Our investment approach is backed by rigorous fundamental analysis by our investment team. Our senior investment professionals are trained financial analysts and meet with over 100 companies annually, 25 to 30 of which are deemed suitable for client’s portfolios.
