What 1832 Asset Management does

1832 Asset Management L.P. is the Canadian asset management subsidiary of The Bank of Nova Scotia (Scotiabank), operating under the Scotia Global Asset Management umbrella to deliver multi-asset, multi-manager investment solutions. The firm offers investment products and portfolio solutions spanning equities, fixed income, multi-asset strategies, and alternatives through multiple brands, including its proprietary Dynamic division (actively managed mutual funds and ETFs), Tangerine Investment Funds (socially responsible portfolios), ScotiaFunds, and Scotia ETFs. It also serves as a sub-adviser for institutional mandates, most recently appointed in May 2026 to sub-advise four MD Financial Management funds alongside Pzena, Janus Henderson, and Hillsdale.

The firm's core technology is an investment management platform supporting diversified product construction, portfolio solutions, and sub-advisory operations across all major asset classes. Its operational and distribution infrastructure is fully embedded within Scotiabank's broader wealth management ecosystem, which includes Jarislowsky Fraser Limited, Scotia Capital Inc., and Scotia Securities Inc. as affiliated distributors, with international affiliates extending reach into Chile, Peru, Mexico, the Cayman Islands, and Jamaica.

1832 Asset Management generates revenue through management fees charged as a percentage of assets under management on its mutual funds, ETFs, and other investment vehicles. Distribution occurs through Scotiabank's Canadian branch network and advisor force, self-directed online platforms (ScotiaFunds and Tangerine), institutional sub-advisory relationships, and international affiliates. The firm serves a hybrid mix of customer segments: Canadian retail investors (primary), accredited investors seeking private market exposure, and institutional clients, using a segmentation approach that spans both personas and size tiers.
