Our Guiding Principles
Our investment techniques focus on default risk and the cash flows that support investment value.
Our Culture
We are family oriented and fiercely loyal. We believe that people who can bring their whole selves to work are happier and that learning and growing never stops. These beliefs and values have created a strong culture at Canso that we are very proud of. We are fortunate to have a successful business and we believe it is our social responsibility to give back to the communities we serve. We organize charitable giving events and initiatives all year round to support a wide number of causes and our employee participation has been 100% year-over-year.
Our United Way campaign runs year-round and includes fun activities that are open to Canso partners and clients. Our annual dodgeball and mini-putt tournaments are highly anticipated and raise significant funds for community charities. We are strong supporters of veteran charities and causes, like True Patriot Love, Veterans’ House and The Vimy Foundation, that help those who risked their lives for our freedom. Below are a few of our close partners.
United Way
We run year-round United Way campaigns that involve many fun activities which raise a significant amount of money. Some of those events are open to participation by our counterparties, such as our dodgeball and mini-putt tournaments. Our employee participation in our fundraising campaign has been 100% since inception and we strive to maintain that enthusiasm.
Movember
Movember is the leading charity changing the face of men’s health. From prostate cancer, to mental health and suicide prevention, Movember exists to help fathers, partners, brothers and friends from dying to young. This is a cause close to the hearts of many members of our team, and we all come out each November to fully participate and give our full support.
Veterans’ House
Veterans’ House Canada is the only Canadian veterans charity building permanent housing for Canada’s veterans. Canso has a long tradition of supporting veterans’ causes, and has deep roots in Canada’s military traditions. Veterans’ House Canada provides unique veterans-only housing, where residents can live within a supportive community of former military peers that includes all the support that residents might need.
