What Les Placements Louisbourg Inc. does

Les Placements Louisbourg Inc., operating as Louisbourg Investments, is a Canadian wealth management firm founded in 1991 and headquartered in Dieppe, New Brunswick. The firm operates as a member of the Assomption Vie (Assumption Life) group of companies and manages more than $3.1 billion in assets under management across 11 proprietary funds and customized portfolios. Louisbourg serves two primary client segments: institutional investors (pensions, endowments, foundations, insurers, and family offices) and private wealth clients (high-net-worth families, professionals, entrepreneurs, and retirees), supported by 27+ investment professionals across five Canadian offices in Dieppe/Moncton, Halifax, Quebec City, Montreal, and Vancouver.

The firm's product suite spans Canadian fixed income (Bond, Corporate Bond, Preferred Share funds), Canadian equities (Equity, Dividend, Quantitative, Small Cap funds), U.S. and international equities, a money market fund, and the Generation Commercial Real Estate Fund (GREF) — an alternative real estate vehicle managed in partnership with DuParc Real Estate Management Inc. and focused on commercial real estate in Atlantic Canadian secondary markets. Its investment approach is research-driven and bottom-up, emphasizing capital preservation, disciplined risk management, and ESG/responsible investment integration. Technology is limited to a standard secure client portal (louisbourgportal.inf-systems.net) and conventional portfolio management systems; no proprietary technology platform, AI/ML capabilities, or third-party integrations are disclosed.

The business model is asset-based fee generation: Louisbourg earns recurring management fees as a percentage of the AUM it manages on behalf of institutional and private wealth clients. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is negotiated individually based on mandate size and complexity. Distribution is conducted entirely through direct advisor relationships and dedicated institutional and private wealth client service teams, with marketing supported by bilingual (EN/FR) corporate websites and an Insights/Blog content channel. The firm is registered with the Ombudsman for Banking Services and Investments (OBSI) and complies with PIPEDA privacy requirements.
