Our Legacy

A modern take on the legacy of Sir Herbert Holt

Sir Herbert Holt leveraged his network in his dealings to become the richest man in Canada — partnering with JP Morgan during his 25+ year tenure as president of RBC, and partnering with Cesar Ritz to co-found the Ritz Carlton.

Anchored by the Holt Family, we understood this principal and engaged our trusted and exclusive network. This has resulted in our funds surpassing hundreds of investors, and our ability to orchestrate hundreds of deals for our portfolio companies — all through our data-driven platform.

We continue this tradition of uniting entities to better serve our society, now focused on the fintech founders reshaping the global financial system.
