Versant Partners serves virtually every major Canadian pension and mutual fund manager, as well as selected U.S. institutional investors. What sets us apart is our firm-wide focus on specific sectors. This has given our sales force an above average understanding of the companies and industries we cover, and enables them to prioritize and communicate our most relevant research ideas to buyside clients in a knowledgeable, no-nonsense way. This ability to cut to the chase has proven useful and time-effective for money managers, most of whom are inundated with calls and research every day. Moreover, it frees up our analysts to spend as much time as possible conducting research.

Our equity-trading team executes trades on all major North American stock exchanges, and has the scale and depth of capabilities to serve most large institutional investors. Our traders are particularly strong when it comes to small and mid-capitalization stocks - which are often illiquid and difficult to trade - and have a reputation for being top traders of the stocks we cover. Like the rest of the firm, Versant Partners traders benefit from our sector focus and expertise, and enjoy excellent relationships with buyside clients.
