Taylor Asset Management

The president and CIO of Taylor Asset Management, David Taylor has become a regular voice in the investment media, and for good reason. As the portfolio manager for the IA Clarington Focused Canadian Equity Class, his strategy led to returns of 35.5% for the fund in 2016. Performance like that tends to attract attention, and Taylor is candid about his investment philosophy – he took advantage of the oil shock in 2015 to increase the fund’s Canadian weighting, and his expectations for a turnaround ultimately came to fruition. Taylor is not afraid to take a risk if he sees inherent value – he recently bought a 4% stake in the embattled Home Capital Group when its shares sank.
