WE ARE UNIQUE.
Laurus Investment Counsel is an independent, employee-owned firm that provides portfolio management expertise in high-quality, small to mid-sized capitalization, growth companies across the globe.
We provide an array of equity mandates to pension funds, union and government entities, insurance and mutual fund companies, foundations, endowments, family offices and high net worth clients.
As a portfolio management team, we consider ourselves owners of the businesses we invest in and not just people trading pieces of paper. Our conviction is to preserve capital and build wealth for our investors. Our strong company culture and alignment with client values is proving to be a strong combination for success.
WE SEARCH FOR THE BEST COMPANIES ACROSS THE GLOBE.
The art to our success is to find those companies where our views are not widely held by others and then buy at a rational price.
We offer four high quality portfolios to Institutional and High Wealth Investors. Our management strategy is consistent with each portfolio — fundamental, concentrated and long term.

Once found, these companies are then allocated to one of five investment strategies for our institutional and high net worth clients.
