Bill Harris, partner and portfolio manager, Avenue Investment Management

FOCUS: Canadian large and mid-caps 

MARKET OUTLOOK:

This is a slow-motion correction and it might take years to unwind a decade of zero interest rate policy.

Avenue’s investment strategy is focusing on essential businesses in the economy that can pass on cost increases to maintain profit margins and, for the most part, do not need public market financing.

Our plan is to accumulate shares in high-quality businesses as we go through this period of stock market weakness and emerge with a stronger portfolio than where we are today.
