Smead Capital Management, a Phoenix-based investment management firm and a leader in value investing, together with its Canadian affiliate Smead Capital Management (Canada) Ltd., today announced that the Smead Global ex-US Value Fund and the Smead US Value Fund are now open for purchase orders and are being made available to Canadian investors through registered dealers, bringing the firm’s long-term, concentrated value investing approach directly to the Canadian market.

“We have been building toward this moment for some time, and we are excited to officially bring these strategies to Canadian investors,” said Cole Smead, CFA, CEO and Portfolio Manager of Smead Capital Management. “Our approach has always been rooted in patience, discipline, and owning businesses for the long term. Canadian advisors can now access the strategies for their clients, and we look forward to earning their trust and building Smead’s presence in Canada.”

With both funds now open for purchase orders, Canadian investors have access to Smead’s differentiated value discipline across U.S. and global ex-U.S. equities. The Smead Global ex-US Value Fund is designed to achieve long-term capital appreciation by investing directly or indirectly in global securities and is designed to provide exposure to developed global equity markets. The Smead US Value Fund seeks to achieve long-term capital appreciation by investing directly or indirectly in U.S. securities, providing investors with exposure predominantly to U.S. companies through Smead’s differentiated value approach.

Smead Capital Management (Canada) Ltd. serves as investment fund manager, portfolio manager and trustee of the funds, with Smead Capital Management, Inc. serving as sub-adviser. Cole Smead serves as lead portfolio manager of the Smead Global ex-US Value Fund and co-portfolio manager of the Smead US Value Fund, while William W. Smead serves as lead portfolio manager of the Smead US Value Fund. The funds are Smead’s first Canadian-domiciled mutual funds and mark the formal availability of the firm’s longstanding low-turnover, concentrated value discipline through Canadian-domiciled strategies. The funds are separate and distinct investment products from any U.S. fund managed by Smead Capital Management, Inc.

Supporting the funds are Bennett Jones as legal counsel, RBC Investor Services Trust as custodian, SGGG Fund Services Inc. as fund administrator and registrar, and Ernst & Young LLP as auditor.

Smead’s expansion into Canada builds on years of investment activity and relationships in the country. In July, Smead Capital Management (Canada) Ltd. became registered with the Ontario Securities Commission, opening the door to the firm’s first formal expansion into the Canadian market.
