The JCClark Focused Opportunities Fund seeks absolute return on capital through a classic long/short hedged style.

The fund invests primarily in Canadian equities and stresses hands-on fundamental research. 

The manager seeks to execute a focused investment strategy by managing a concentrated portfolio of the firm's most promising investment ideas. 

The manager avoids directional bets on the market and aims for minimal market exposure. All investments are made in publicly-traded securities (mainly equities). 

Security selection is the primary focus as the manager attempts to buy high quality companies trading at a significant discount to their intrinsic values and short businesses with weak fundamentals, poor or overly promotional management, and aggressive accounting. The manager and investment team perform significant internal due diligence on all investment ideas.
