HPG's approach analyzes profitability and dividend history and from that we select the best of the best. Their quantitative model selects leading companies with a long history of success. They dominate their industries, they innovate, they evolve and their consistent performance is measured by a long record of rising sales and profits. The firm focuses on growth industries and secular trends. HPG's investment process includes: (1) investment universe; (2) quantitative screen; (3) fundamental financials; (4) active decisions.

Highstreet Asset Management believes that stock market success can be achieved by consistently applying a disciplined, quantitative approach to investing. The firm employs a GVQ+RTM philosophy focusing on strong growth, value, quality and risk attributes. Using a proprietary portfolio management system, Highstreet screens and ranks the universe of stocks and the portfolio holdings according to their GVQ+RTM characteristics. A rigorous buy and sell discipline ensures that the GVQ+RTM criteria for a strong investment and risk profile is maintained. While the process is mostly quantitative, Highstreet supplements the data provided by the models with research and ongoing fundamental analysis.The Harmony Canadian Equity Pool seeks to provide long-term capital growth.
