Sentry Select Capital Corp.

Sentry Select Capital Corp is a private family owned and family run investment management company based out of Toronto. The company has undergone a name change and now operates as Sentry Investments Inc. and was founded in 1997 by John F. Driscoll. Sentry Select Capital Corp would begin as a small mutual fund, keeping its client base relatively small as it grew. The company, although affected by the 2008 and 2009 financial recession, would survive the crisis easily, mostly due to its funds that are designed to perform through volatile markets. Its performance during the crisis would attract more clients to its business, and the company would experience tremendous growth afterwards. Sentry Investments Inc. has also expanded its presence because of the growth, opening additional offices in Vancouver and Montreal. The company focuses on a consistent style of investment to deliver superior risk adjusted returns, emphasizing the “highest-quality, healthiest companies that share specific attributes.” Sentry Investments Inc. invests in the public equity and fixed income markets on a global scale and encourages its investment professionals to have their own inputs in the investment process in their own fields of expertise. The company’s assets are highly diversified across a variety of sectors with investments in the finance, information technology, industrials, transports, health care, consumer discretionary, and materials sectors, among others to a lesser degree, in order of decreasing allocation. The company currently has approximately $12 billion in total assets under management with 15 employees taking care of 32 discretionary accounts. Sentry Investments Inc. mainly provides its services to insurance companies, although it also caters to pension and profit sharing plans and others, in order of decreasing clientele. The company currently offers a variety of funds in its family of mutual funds including its Enhanced Corporate Bond, Money Market, Tactical Bond, Alternative Asset Income, Diversified Equity, REIT, and other funds.
