The Quebec Emerging Managers Program (“QEMP”) is proud to announce that Evovest Inc. (“Evovest”) has been selected to manage a global equity mandate. Evovest’s mission is to provide superior asset management services through an innovative approach: combining fundamental analysis expertise with artificial intelligence. The investment objective of the Evovest Global Equity Fund II L.P. is to generate incremental returns when compared to an equal-weighted portfolio of the largest market capitalizations within developed economies over a complete market cycle.

Founded in 2017 by its CEO Carl Dussault, Evovest also benefits from the experience of financial industry veterans, namely Benoit Robert, Head of Business Development, who has forged a successful path in institutional sales, as well as Michel Tremblay, one of the builders of Québec’s financial community, who serves as Chairman of the Board of Directors and guides its corporate strategy.

“We are pleased to join the QEMP and to have access to its support as we pursue our development.”
