As investors with a long-time horizon, we recognize the fundamental importance of environmental, social and governance factors.

Independent Review Committee

The Independent Review Committees (IRC) is an independent body whose role is to oversee all decisions involving an actual or perceived conflict of interest faced by Pembroke Private Wealth Management in the operation of the mutual funds that the firm offers. The three members of the IRC are:
