Our Services

When the Tech Bubble burst, Nicola Wealth’s diversified cash flow approach helped ease volatility and mitigate losses relative to public market performance. 

The 2001 Dot Com Bust

While 2008’s financial crisis sent public markets tumbling, the Nicola Core Composite’s diversification helped protect the downside and allowed for recovery from a relatively stronger position. 

The 2008 Sub-Prime Crash

The Global Pandemic precipitated a crash and rapid recovery in the public markets, throughout which the Nicola Core Composite demonstrated relative stability and resilience.

The COVID-19 Pandemic

Through major market downturns, Nicola Wealth aims to keep clients on track to reach their financial objectives through our conservative, yet forward-thinking approach to investment management.

Nicola Wealth vs The Marketplace

Record of Stability

We have direct access and co-investments in private opportunities as a result of strong relationships with our network of partners.

Private Capital

With properties across Canada and the U.S., we utilize disciplined criteria to source historically consistent and stable income-producing assets.

Real Estate

Our focus is on owning the highest calibre companies globally as part of a well-constructed and well-diversified portfolio.

Public Assets

We look beyond the conventional “60% stocks / 40% bonds” approach to investing, providing access to diversification into asset classes across hard asset real estate and private capital spaces.

Access to private investments

To minimize the inevitable ups and downs that come with a reliance on the stock market, our approach to investing includes additional alternative asset classes such as private equity, mortgages, private debt, and institutional grade real estate.
