LeeSide is an independent portfolio management firm which offers services to both institutional and private clients. Based in Halifax, Nova Scotia, LeeSide is owned and operated by Robert McKim, George Loughery and Don Wishart who previously worked together as officers and senior portfolio managers at Seamark Asset Management. The team has over 100 years’ collective experience in investment and financial management. LeeSide's investment philosophy is to purchase high quality equities and hold them for the long-term. Like the most successful investors before them, the founders think of buying stocks as purchasing fractional interests in whole businesses. Careful attention to valuations, a willingness to be patient, and a strict discipline of investing in "best of class" securities are the hallmarks of its conservative, low-risk portfolios. The investment style is a bottom-up, fundamental approach which identifies companies with superior long-term investment merit based on proven management, competitive position, and strong financial history. Preference is given to companies with durable growth prospects. LeeSide invests in companies when their current market price represents value relative to their long-term potential. The team will maintain the investment as long as it continues to offer greater than average return potential. Leading companies in many attractive industries are held to ensure appropriate diversification.
