Invico Capital Corporation

An alternative investment manager based in Canada

Invico Capital Corporation is a Canadian investment fund manager that provides alternative investment and financing solutions across North America. It describes itself as award-winning and says it has built its business over roughly two decades on long-term relationships, rigorous analysis and ethical decision-making. Its products are aimed mainly at advisors, family offices and institutional investors, though some of its funds are available to retail investors.

What alternative investments mean here

The firm explains alternative investments as non-traditional financial assets, such as private debt and private equity, and notes that they have grown in popularity as managers have opened them to investors of varying means. Its own approach is to pursue opportunities that it describes as unorthodox within the industry, but only where it can carry out the due diligence needed to deal honestly with its partners.

The fund range

Its offer is organised around a handful of strategies. Invico Credit Opportunities provides access to senior secured debt, with an aim of steady income and preservation of capital. Invico Secondaries buys positions in hedge funds and private equity funds on the secondary market. The firm also gives access to oil and gas holdings throughout North America, concentrating on royalty and non-operated working interests, and flexible financing for businesses, including energy-related projects.

The flagship income fund

Its signature product is the Invico Diversified Income Fund, a private pooled trust launched in 2013 that aims to generate monthly income from a mix of debt, credit and energy assets. The firm says the fund offers monthly cash distributions with a reinvestment plan, quarterly liquidity and redemption options that may be subject to portfolio liquidity, notice and fees, and a combination of real assets and private debt intended to diversify beyond single-strategy private debt or real estate offerings. It also states that environmental, social and governance criteria are applied in prospecting, due diligence and underwriting. Past financing examples on its site include receivables factoring for an oilfield services company and the acquisition of energy working interests.

Values and people

The firm gives its core values as challenge, change and grow, and says it values transparency and governance. It also says its team is now majority female in an industry that has been mostly male, and that it promotes from within.
