Why Cumberland? 

IMG_0369_edited.jpg
Unique Risk Management Process

Cumberland Private Wealth Management (“CPWM”) in Calgary uses a unique risk management process to manage downside risk in your portfolio and to produce higher risk-adjusted returns over the long term.  The proprietary Kipling Funds are a group of alternative strategies and are a core component of many of our clients’ portfolios. We use these, in conjunction with individual securities, to enhance exposure to certain sectors/commodities/asset classes and to produce a sophisticated long-short portfolio with lower volatility than the traditional portfolios offered by most large financial institutions. Please contact us for more detailed information on our investment process.
