David Barr’s Top Canadian Small Cap Picks for 2025

Canadian small caps have been abandoned but are they hiding the best opportunities of the next decade? In this episode of In the Money with Amber Kanwar, David Barr of the PenderFund breaks down why he’s staying laser-focused on the most overlooked corner of the market. 🚀 David shares why capital flight, restrictive bank policies, and a shrinking brokerage landscape have crushed small cap visibility but also created incredible mispricings. He explains the “venture-style due diligence” he uses to uncover winners early, how he evaluates founder-led teams, and why macro volatility now demands more active trading than ever.
