Jarislowsky, Fraser Ltd Portfolio holdings
Jarislowsky Fraser started in 1955 as a Montreal research firm that sold its stock research to investment managers in the US and UK. Its founder, Stephen Jarislowsky, was a Harvard-educated investor and former Alcan executive. The firm won its first pension fund client by 1966, and managing money for institutions became its core business. Scotiabank bought it in 2018, and the firm kept its Montreal headquarters and its investment independence. It looks for quality, sustainable businesses to hold for long-term growth, and serves pension funds, endowments, foundations, corporations and Indigenous communities.
