About the Rivemont Microcap Fund: The Rivemont Microcap Fund, managed by Martin Lalonde at Investissements Rivemont, aims to provide long-term capital appreciation by investing in micro and small-cap stocks in North America. The Fund’s analysts, Philippe Bergeron-Bélanger and Mathieu Martin, will use their expertise to uncover and present to the Fund their research on the best investment opportunities in the North American microcap market.

During this short presentation, we will share our criteria and investment strategy, as well as the details surrounding the launch of the Fund in December 2017.
