Institutional - Prudence is Process

In the institutional world prudence is process, not performance. We recognize that having strong and efficient processes in place is key for any organization to be successful. Every organization has different values and views on what is most important to them, and therefore have unique investment needs that cannot be met by a one-size-fits-all solution. Our focus is to understand your investment needs and ensure we are creating a strategy that you are comfortable with to help achieve your goals.

The Keith Pavo Group of RBC Dominion Securities is entrusted with investments for the Institutional and Non-Proft sector encompassing:

  • Endowments
  • Foundations
  • Public and Private Institutions
  • Government Agencies
  • Health Care Facilities
  • Educational Institutions
  • Religious Orders
  • Municipalities
  • Family Trusts, and
  • Charitable Organizations

The Keith Pavo Group currently manages Institutions ranging in size from $2MM to +$100MM and is a member of the Responsible Investment Association (RIA), Canada's membership association for Responsible Investment.

The Investment Policy Statement is the starting point for all of our clients and the guiding document outlining key criteria such as risk/return objectives, time horizon, liquidity needs, tax considerations, etc. If a client does not have an Investment Policy Statement or would like to create a new one, we will work with them to design their IPS and ensure that their portfolio is in alignment. With our world constantly changing and your needs evolving over time, we will annually review this document to ensure your goals and investments are in sync.
