about us

---

Tempered Investment Management Ltd. is a Vancouver, BC based investment firm founded in 2010.

We manage assets on behalf of a select group of institutional, high net worth individuals and retail investors in both Canada and the United States through separately managed accounts and a proprietary Canadian pooled fund. We are registered with Canadian securities regulatory authorities and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

At Tempered, our fundamental investment objective is to achieve absolute long-term capital appreciation while minimizing the risk of capital impairment. We aim to uncover and invest in companies that have long-term growth potential, strong business fundamentals, and are typically owner operated.

We believe that a permanent loss of capital is the primary source of risk and not market volatility. Furthermore, we believe in managing a concentrated portfolio of 10-25 companies to minimize the risk of capital impairment and to enable us to focus on the most compelling investment opportunities. The unintended consequence of managing a concentrated portfolio is inevitably increased short to medium-term volatility, which is something we are willing to accept. In the long run, we expect to achieve absolute capital appreciation in our portfolio. 

We will gravitate towards opportunities regardless of when or where they may arise.
