"DKAM operates a concentrated small cap Canadian portfolio with 10% cash following strategic exits from GoEasy and Constellation Software. Holdings like Zedcor, Blue Ant, and VitalHub are positioned for record 2026 performance."
Executive Summary
DKAM runs a concentrated portfolio focused on small cap Canadian companies, believing their edge lies in depth of understanding rather than macro forecasting. The fund sold positions in GoEasy and Constellation Software in 2025, now holding ~10% cash for strategic deployment. Current holdings include Zedcor (security towers), Blue Ant (media content), Enterprise (natural gas services), VitalHub (healthcare software), and Tantalus (smart grid solutions). Each largest investment is positioned for record financial performance in 2026. The managers see significant opportunity in small caps, which have reached their cheapest levels versus large caps in over 3 decades. Key themes include AI-driven productivity gains that disproportionately benefit smaller companies, Canada's natural gas market inflection, and government healthcare digitization. While acknowledging Middle East conflict risks and potential inflation impacts, they remain optimistic about their portfolio companies' fundamentals and growth trajectories. The fund expects 52% revenue growth and 63% earnings growth in 2026 while trading at 9.2x cash P/E versus 21.8x for the S&P 500.
