HoldCo Markets Advisory

What HoldCo Markets Advisory does

HoldCo Markets Advisory Inc. is a privately held, Toronto-based investment management firm and private family office founded in 2013, focused exclusively on the midcap/junior mining and broader natural resources sector. The company operates as an active investor, advisor, and market participant, targeting institutional investors seeking exposure to mining issuers that larger broker/dealers typically cannot profitably cover due to size and liquidity constraints. The firm is non-IIROC registered and therefore does not provide investment banking services or make markets in securities.

The company's product surface is built around two research lines and a private capital practice. Portfolio Notes are independent, non-compensated analyses reflecting the firm's own views; Research Spotlight is an issuer-paid differentiated research product highlighting growth-oriented mining companies. Equity Research provides in-depth financial modeling and analysis for institutional clients. Through its Private Capital division, HoldCo Markets has deployed capital since 2013 across liquid investments, privates, and bulk commodities in junior and mid-cap mining, conducting hands-on due diligence that includes operational and financial forecasting, ongoing management dialogue, and on-site visits.

HoldCo Markets monetizes through professional services fees (advisory, research) and investment returns from its private capital activities. Distribution is selective and direct: research is published on holdcomarkets.com and selectively distributed via LinkedIn, X, YouTube, and email to a qualified institutional audience. The firm employs 1–10 people, has been active since 2013, has published 142 posts on its content platform, and discloses operating geographies across Canada and the United States with a stated global reach.
