With over 2,000 members, CVCA members have over $105 billion in capital under management in three distinct market segments: ? Buyout is characterized chiefly by risk investment in established private or publicly listed firms that are undergoing a fundamental change in operations or strategy. Buyout funds are often called such, even if their mandates are not exclusively buy out related. ? Mezzanine is characterized chiefly by use of Subordinated Debt, or preferred stock with an equity kicker, to invest largely in the same type of companies and deals as buyout funds. ? Venture Capital is characterized generally by investment in early stage companies, mostly in technology businesses.

Canadian Institute of Chartered Business Valuators

The Canadian Institute of Chartered Business Valuators (CICBV) is nationally and internationally recognized as the pre-eminent business valuation organization in Canada. The CICBV establishes the practice standards, educational requirements, and ethical guidelines, which support and promote the integrity of the CBV profession for the benefit of its more than 1,400 Members. The CICBV was founded in 1971 by 28 valuation professionals under the leadership of the late Mr. George Ovens. At the time, the introduction of taxation of capital gains in Canada facilitated the general need for business valuation. Since then, the profession has grown exponentially as the demand for valuations expanded to other fields beyond taxation.
