Portfolio Manager(s)

Carl Lytollis, MBA, CFA

BonaVista Asset Management Ltd.

Start Date: February, 1995

Fund Return: 7.20%

Mr. Lytollis graduated from the University of Toronto with a Bachelor of Applied Science (Chemical Engineering) degree in 1981 and spent the following two years working as a Project Engineer at the Sarnia Refinery for Imperial Oil. In 1983, Carl enrolled at York University and graduated with a Master of Business Administration degree and began to work in the Research Department of Confederation Life. While initially responsible for fundamental equity research in the oil and gas industry, over the next three years he took on coverage of additional Canadian industries, including consumer goods and industrial products and utilities. In addition, he completed special assignments, including fixed income credit reviews and detailed analysis of equity private placements. In 1987, Carl received his CFA designation and soon thereafter began to focus on equity research within the US market for Confed Investment Counselling. Over a period of years, Carl developed his expertise as a generalist, and ultimately began to manage money for discretionary accounts. Carl continued to manage the US equity portfolio through the management buyout that led to the creation of BonaVista Asset Management in 1994. He has now established a solid track record as a value investor, encompassing over fifteen years of continuous portfolio management experience in US equities.
