About Us

Preservation of wealth with intelligent, purposeful, well-analyzed investments

As one of Canada’s largest family-owned investment companies, Werklund Capital Corporation (“WCC”) is a sophisticated wealth management group with an innovative, entrepreneurial, and flexible approach to deploying capital and growing it with measured risk.

We manage our business based on distinct, yet complementary and mutually beneficial divisions:

• Public Securities
• Private and Affiliate Investments
• Strategic Advisory Group

Our existing portfolio consists of investments in a variety of industries including oil and gas service and production, residential real estate, media, telecommunications, hospitality food & beverage, aviation, clean technology, niche and broad venture capital, financial services and manufacturing.

Innovative

We take more than a financial look at an organization. Our highly experienced, multi-faceted management team approaches every business opportunity with creative, thorough and strategic analysis. We are strong supporters of best-in-class systems and look for areas where we can create value by identifying gaps in management, leveraging our extensive contacts, capitalizing on our own wide-ranging experience, and introducing ideas from other industries where appropriate. We value new ideas and act upon them. Our openness to creative financial structures and willingness to explore synergistic solutions is what makes WCC truly unique in North America.

Entrepreneurial

We don’t mind taking measured risks, and we’re not afraid of complexity. Our investment approach can be tailored to the opportunity, and we don’t rely on a pre-set box of investment criteria. We are patient and willing to put in the extra time to work with the management of our investees when the outcome will produce higher productivity and greater yield. We believe leadership, management ability, and team-building are essential for new opportunities, and acting upon them with determination and purpose. The WCC team excels at assessing risk, taking initiative, creating innovative financial solutions, and adding significant value to opportunities.

Flexible

We are small enough to be nimble, yet large enough to be influential when we need to be. We are able to quickly adjust our investment strategy according to the capital markets and general economic conditions, and our active management strategy necessitates continuous review of individual investments to ensure return expectations are met, risks are mitigated, and additional opportunities are recognized and assessed. We have the ability and flexibility to manage a portfolio focused on value creation mechanisms, and we are willing to look at various types of deals in any industry. We are creative and innovative in how we work with our investees to ensure they have the right set of capital solutions to achieve their business objectives, and our flexibility is emphasized in how we create financial structures to suit each individual investment opportunity.
