Ottawa / Toronto · Independent Wealth Management

Private wealth,
personally managed.

Enclave is an independent Canadian investment firm serving a deliberately small number of families and entrepreneurs — relationships built carefully, over long periods, with the same people. We manage our clients’ capital as we manage our own, because we hold the same positions ourselves.

Accepting new clients by introduction or private inquiry.

What the firm is built on

The relationship

A deliberately small number of families, served by the same people year after year. The portfolio is one part of the work; the relationship is the practice.

Co-investment alignment

Every position we recommend is one we hold ourselves. The same funds, the same equities, the same structures. Alignment at Enclave is not a policy — it is the way the firm is built. What each client holds, and in what proportion, is set to their own circumstances; the convictions behind those holdings are ours as well.

The whole picture

Portfolio, tax, corporate structure, estate, insurance: one team, responsible for how it all fits together. In private wealth, the interaction is the strategy.

From the founder

“The relationships this firm is built on were not built quickly, and they were not built on marketing. They were built on doing the work carefully, over long periods, for a small group of people whose trust was earned rather than assumed.”

Mark McCooeye — A letter to our clients, June 2026

What that means in practice

How we are held to account

Regulation

Enclave is a Portfolio Manager registered with the securities regulators of Ontario, Québec, Alberta, Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia, and British Columbia.

Custody

Client assets are held with an established Canadian custodian, in the client’s name, fully reported. Enclave holds investment authority — never the assets themselves.

Compensation

We are paid by our clients alone. No commissions, no proprietary products, no institutional mandate directing capital anywhere in particular.

An invitation

Begin a conversation.

Engagements begin with a private conversation — about your circumstances, and about whether the fit is right on both sides.
