About Us
In the midst of the 2008 financial crisis, it became evident that there was a need for a new investment strategy that would help investors survive future market fluctuations. Alitis was founded in 2009 for this very reason. Alitis incorporates alternative investments, such as private real estate, private equity and private mortgages, to act as a safeguard in our clients' portfolios, allowing them to navigate market volatility and achieve better risk-adjusted erturns. The Alitis Pools provide access to alternative investments at a lower cost and much improved liquidity compared to conventional channels. Starting out with seven staff and three investment portfolios, Alitis has grown to over 20 team members, six investment portfolios with three offices in British Columbia. Alitis is licensed as a portfolio Manager in British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, and Ontario, as well as being registered as an investment fund manager with the securities commissions in British Columbia and Ontario. The firm is employee owned and manages over $465 million in assets.
