Stephen Arpin and William Otton of Beutel Goodman are part of this year's Wealth Professional Canada's Hot List.
Beutel Goodman
In choosing its Fund Manager of the Year for 2016, Morningstar went with the duo of Stephen Arpin and William Otton of Beutel Goodman. A lot of equity funds tasted success last year as markets here and in the US rallied strongly, but it was the performance of Arpin and Otton’s Small Cap Fund in the down times – delivering returns almost double that of their peers over the past two years, including 21% last year – that separated them from their competitors.
As vice-president of Canadian equities at Beutel Goodman, Arpin also oversees technology, consumer discretionary and energy stocks for the firm. Otton, meanwhile, has excelled in the Canadian small-cap space, with particular focus on metals, minerals, golds, printing, steel and fertilizer.
