Investment involves risk. The value of investments, and the income from them, can go down as well as up and an investor may get back less than the amount invested. Past performance is not a guide to future results.
The information contained in this site is of a general nature on the activities carried out by Sprucegrove. This information is therefore only indicative and does not constitute any form of contractual agreement, nor is it to be considered as an offer, investment recommendation, or solicitation to deal in any financial instrument or engage in any investment service or activity. No warranty whatsoever is given and no liability whatsoever is accepted for any loss arising whether directly or indirectly as a result of the reader, any person or group of persons acting on any information, opinion or estimate contained in this site.
Please note that some of the investments referenced in this site are not authorised for distribution in all of those jurisdictions in which we operate. For further information, please speak to a Sprucegrove representative.
Sprucegrove is committed to treating all people in a way that allows them to maintain their dignity and independence. We believe in integration and equal opportunity. We are committed to meeting the needs of people with disabilities in a timely manner, and will do so by preventing and removing barriers to accessibility and meeting accessibility requirements under the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (“AODA”) and the Integrated Accessibility Standards Regulations (“IASR”).
Sprucegrove will, upon request, provide or arrange to provide accessible formats and communication supports for Sprucegrove information. We are committed to providing or arranging to provide Sprucegrove information in a timely manner, taking into account the person’s accessibility needs.
We believe that all forms of modern slavery; from human trafficking and forced labour, to bonded labour and child slavery; have no place in our society. As an investment company we want to do all that we can to help tackle these issues. We are committed to operating ethically, raising awareness of modern slavery issues, and encouraging good practices among our suppliers and the companies we invest in.
We work with a limited number of suppliers who provide us with various goods and services. The majority of our spending is with suppliers of fully managed outsourced services, operating systems, information technology and professional services which support our investment management process.
We ensure the management and oversight of all material service providers through our vendor due diligence process. These due diligence requirements involve cross-business representatives focusing on procurement, legal, sustainability, risk and compliance to ensure we continuously review and improve our approach.
The Canadian and United States financial services industry is not considered a high-risk sector for modern slavery. However, we are not complacent and recognise the possibility that modern slavery issues may exist somewhere in our supply chain. We expect transparency from our suppliers and will work with our business partners to support them in driving positive change. In the event that we did become aware of any modern slavery issues within any of our supply chains, this would be escalated to our Board of Directors through our risk management framework and appropriate action would be taken. Depending on the circumstances, this may range from supporting a supplier to make a positive change to terminating the relationship with a supplier. We also recognise that the biggest impact we can make is through our investment approach, engaging directly with high-risk companies and encouraging better practices as part of our commitment to environmental, social and governance (“ESG”).
A key way we can drive change is through how we invest. We incorporate ESG considerations into our investment approach across all mandates. We take our responsibilities as an investor seriously and seek to encourage the adoption of best-practice ESG standards. We expect that the companies in which we invest meet internationally recognised modern slavery standards and industry best practices. We also expect companies to report to shareholders regarding policies, practices and the performance of all the steps taken to address modern slavery issues. Where we believe a company is exposed to modern slavery risk and not taking action to mitigate this, we will incorporate this into our investment view and engage with the company to drive positive change.
