  • “I am fortunate to have known the founders of DK prior to its inception. By the time they started Deans Knight, they had a number of years of investment experience and knew what investment services they would offer that would play to their strengths. That is what their team has been doing for the last 30 years!! Their strategies and advice have been the key to our family’s financial independence."

  • “The incredible team at Deans Knight lets me sleep at night….they are a unique group who are prudent and sage investors. They are compassionate and caring not only about the money they manage on my behalf but also about me. I am now retired and over the course of my life I have been saving. So now that I am finally withdrawing from my RRIF, I can tell you over the past 30 years Deans Knight has made it possible for me to enjoy my life with comfort and worry free."

The Best of Canada

We champion the talent and value of Canadian businesses by providing investment capital to home-grown entrepreneurs and the communities in which they work and support.

Our returns to investors have consistently outperformed the market over the long-term by recognizing the hidden value of Canada. Canadian businesses are global operators but are regularly overlooked by large institutions and international investors.

We leverage our natural resource investment expertise with the technical knowledge of the JDS Group to identify superior investment opportunities in the resource sector—in Canada and throughout the world.
