About us

We invest our
own capital.

We are W Investments; a private equity fund based in Montreal, Canada.

We’re entrepreneurs, investing in other entrepreneurs. Before joining forces at W, our founders had been investing their own capital for over 20 years.

A significant portion of our capital was invested by our five founders, which provides a true alignment of interests with our investors. We leverage our extensive network to create opportunities and support our portfolio companies.

We value integrity, humility and…we like to have fun.

Investments

We’re proud to be a part of your success.

We target minority positions in businesses with at least $30M in enterprise value. We are open to all sectors of activity, and we want to partner with experienced managers to support them in their growth plans, while we unlock value for all our partners.

Current Portfolio

We’re a one-stop shop for private alternative investments.

We invest in mainly two asset classes: private equity and real estate. We ensure that we have complete diversification in each of these two asset classes. Namely, in private equity, we target traditional, industrial, and manufacturing companies just as much as technology companies. In real estate, we seek to participate in residential, commercial, and industrial projects while also aiming for geographical diversification.
