Canada's Top Growing Companies ranks Canadian companies on three-year revenue growth. Lorne Park earned its spot with a three-year growth of 57%.

The Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Bellwether Investment Management Inc. and Bellwether Investment Management USA, LLC (collectively "Bellwether"), has methodically executed its growth strategy for the last decade, developing a track record of successfully integrating and growing wealth management businesses. By partnering with like-minded portfolio managers and family wealth advisors, Bellwether has built a robust offering that provides clients with a range of cost-effective public and private market investment solutions across its North American Wealth Management platform.

Over the previous two years, the Company completed the acquisition of Promus Asset Management, LLC and Fulcrum Equity Management, LLC. Both Fulcrum and Promus are Texas limited liability companies registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission as investment advisors. These acquisitions have provided the Company with a footprint to expand its service offerings into the USA.

Our partners benefit from the scale of a national platform allowing them to better serve their clients domestic and cross-border needs by focusing on what they do best, providing unbiased financial planning. Our clients benefit by being served by a team of experts in financial planning and investment management and due to our size, have access to leading investment solutions provided at a reasonable cost." - Robert Sewell, President and CEO
