Toronto, Canada
Frontwater Capital is an independent and objective financial services and wealth management startup, founded in 2009 and headquartered in Canada. Recognizing the need for high-quality, professional investment advice during the financial crisis, Jeff Kaminker established the company with a focus on investment strategies typically reserved for pension plans, financial institutions, and large corporations. Frontwater Capital specializes in options strategies, aiming to provide a more effective risk management tool than traditional asset allocation methods.
The company's unique boutique structure allows it to provide high-quality service at a reasonable cost to a sophisticated and affluent client base. Frontwater Capital prides itself on its commitment to excellence, integrity, and trust, which are the pillars guiding its decisions every day.
The decision to launch Frontwater Capital was driven by the realization that option-licensed portfolio managers can not only outperform their long-only counterparts in higher returns but also in managing the overall risk profile of the investment portfolio. The company's investment approach aims to add considerable value to a tactical asset allocation program and mitigate volatility, particularly highlighted during the financial crisis when seemingly safe fixed income investments cratered simultaneously with higher risk equity markets.
