Instead of giving away research and making money through banking relationships, we used our independence and forensic-accounting expertise to produce high-quality, unbiased research that clients were looking for. That model still stands today, with Veritas having grown to become Canada’s largest independent equity research firm. We're best known for our bold calls, such as our warning on Valeant before it collapsed 90%, and advising to sell cannabis stocks throughout the entire IPO mania. However, we wouldn't consider ourselves pessimists so much as pragmatists. Since inception, our BUY recommendations have outperformed the S&P/TSX index by a 3.1% CAGR, while our SELLS have underperformed by 5.6%. Being independent gives us the power to say things that others can’t or won’t. Our mission is to be the #1 source of trusted, independent research that helps investors make better investment decisions.
