Canada’s Longest Established Investor Relations Firm -- 20 years under Current Management
CHF’s management team,
over and above eight decades more experience in IR, and counting"
Welcome to the website of Canada's longest established investor relations company, CHF Investor Relations, whose origins go back to 1958. What we take even more pride in is the fact that our current senior client services team has had 100 years of experience covering brokerage, trading, corporate finance, natural resources, equity and institutional sales, over and above eight decades more they've spent in direct IR service.
We are a full-service, outsourced investor relations consultant company serving emerging to mid-cap public companies trading on North American exchanges, and corporate consultant to groups seeking to go public or dual-list in North America. Our primary role is to introduce our client companies to key financial groups within the Canadian investment community who can make a significant, positive impact on the issuer's value. Brokers, financial analysts, investment bankers and merchant bankers - they are all part of our target group for active outreach.
CHF was also the first IR firm to implement market-making services for clients, starting in 2002, in its Market Liquidity Program designed to attend to critical trading issues affected by illiquidity.

CHF’s Clients Performance
 |
CHF calculates and records the aggregate gain/loss for a basket investment in our client companies over time. In 2012: An investment of $1,000 in each of CHF’s clients on January 1st 2012 would have declined -12.1% by December 31st 2012. CHF fared better than the the TSX Venture Index which is its most closely matched index for companies sizes/sectors/risk profiles. Unfortunately the year was dominated by macro-economic distractions that pulled money out of the small caps (namely USA elections, Japanese and Chinese elections, EU countries defaulting, American infighting over debt policy, stagnant economic growth on a global scale, etc). We expect the markets to turn upwards in 2013 due to several positive indicators for commodities and downward pressure on the US dollar. |

|
In 2011: An investment of $1,000 in each of CHF’s clients on January 1st 2011 would have declined -30.1% by December 31st 2011. CHF fared better than the the TSX Venture Index which felt the effects of investor uncertainty that pulled away from the small-cap and micro-cap stocks altogether. |
|
|
In 2010: An investment of $1,000 in each of CHF’s clients on January 1st 2010 would have pocketed +56.6% gain for the year. CHF beat each of the Dow Jones Industrial Index, the TSX Composite Index, the TSX Venture Index and the Russell Small Cap Completeness Index in 2010.
|
 |
In 2009: CHF's Client Performance rebounded in 2009 from the drastic downturn of the last half of 2008. An investment of $1,000 in each of CHF’s clients on January 1st 2009 would be up +80.9%. CHF came in second to the TSX Venture Index for performance in 2009. |
|
|
2008’s unprecedented global boom, followed by bust, makes that year’s statistics anomalous for comparison. CHF's basket of client companies with $1,000 invested in each at the beginning of the year ended 2008 down 60.7%. Understandably CHF’s clients were hard hit overall in 2008 when the markets took their drastic downturn starting in September 2008, but together did not fall as far as the TSX Venture Index for the year. |
 |
For the 2007 calendar year, equal investments in CHF client companies (roster as of Dec. 31, 2007) yielded +67.6% return. The CHF group appreciably outperformed all the others in 2007. |
