CORPORATE VISION AND STRATEGIC DIRECTION
Dundee's strategy to create long-term value for stakeholders is being driven through the establishment of a wealth management business focused on the high-net-worth and ultra-high-net-worth markets, supported by top quality investment products, and managed by a team of experienced portfolio managers. In parallel with its wealth management vision, the Corporation has taken steps to rationalize its merchant capital portfolio, focusing on those investments that the Corporation considers core to its expertise and aligned to its objectives of sustainable growth and value for shareholders.
The Corporation believes that over time, the successful execution of the wealth management strategy will help generate more regular and predictable cash flows. It is anticipated that future cash flows in the wealth management business will come from a combination of asset management and performance based fees. The Corporation also believes it has taken important steps to address issues with entities within its merchant capital portfolio in order to help ensure they are well positioned for a future recovery in commodity prices.
