Services
Our methods are not quantitative or fashionable. We spend a lot of time examining issuers and assessing their creditworthiness. Our long collective experience in credit analysis contributes to our ability to avoid overpriced and risky issuers and identify securities that are undervalued given their credit risk and potential return.
Canso believes in giving back to the community. We are very fortunate to have a successful business which generates stable employment and we believe it is our social responsibility to give back. We run year-round United Way campaigns that involve many fun activities which raise a significant amount of money.
Lysander Funds Limited was created to provide retail distribution of pooled funds for Canso Fund Management (Canso). Lysander has since built on its original mission to offer closed end funds and prospectus funds, and also partner with other independent investment managers who have sound and focused investment strategies to provide cost-effective investment solutions.
The Canso fixed income approach concentrates on security selection. We believe that fundamental analysis and security selection will add substantial value compared to a more "passive" approach. Traditional "core" bond management combines corporate bonds with government bonds in an "active" bond mandate.
The investment process at Canso is focused on bottom up, fundamental research and security selection. Cheap investments are not popular and the buyer must do independent research to find undervalued securities. Our prime focus is on our internal credit research; we do not rely on external research and credit rating agencies.
