Capital preservation - one of Spartan's principal objectives:

>> How has Spartan performed during TSX down months?

>> How has Spartan performed during up, neutral and down markets? 

  • Effective August 2011, Spartan has improved the redemption terms for the Fund by reducing the notice period from 45 days to 1 month.
  • Effective January 2010, Spartan is an eligible investment for self directed registered accounts held with your dealer - RSPs, TFSAs, RESPs and RIFs.
  • Spartan is now a component of the Scotia Capital Canadian Hedge Fund Performance Index.
  • Spartan trades listed equity, currency, commodity and debt markets in private funds and managed accounts on behalf of high-net-worth and institutional clients.
  • The vision in creating Spartan, and our edge, is to bring the institutional experience and discipline of successful proprietary bank traders, floor traders and market makers within an investment fund structure.
  • Preservation of capital is as important as performance. Avoiding large losses is invaluable, not just for our client’s peace of mind but for their returns as well.
  • The employees of the firm are – and will remain – significant investors of the Fund.
  • Each member of our senior management team has over 20 years’ experience in the capital markets, covering all key areas in wealth management – trading, operations, risk management and compliance.
  • Governance and infrastructure are paramount in everything that we do.


"LACONIC" Derived from the city Laconia, Spartans were known for their laconic wit and economy of speech – in keeping with their austere, practical and concise manner.
