About Us
An Independent Investment Firm in Calgary
Focused Solely on Your Best Interests.
Many investment firms struggle to provide consistent, long-term stewardship, leaving you uncertain about who is managing your wealth.
- Advisor Turnover means the advisor you rely on today may not be there tomorrow.
- Unplanned Transitions, often from acquisitions, can disrupt the trust and continuity your financial goals depend on.
- Declining Engagement leads to reactive rather than proactive management.
- and more....
You deserve more than inconsistent support. You deserve a stable, experienced team committed to managing your wealth for the long term.

The Hemisphere Difference
“Our goal is to deliver the most independent and unbiased investment service in today’s financial industry.”
Hemisphere Capital Management Inc. is an independent and employee-owned investment group in Calgary. We provide discretionary wealth management services.
For over 30 years, our investment managers have proudly served hundreds of individuals, families, corporations and charitable entities across Canada – helping them build, grow, and manage their financial legacies with care and expertise.
Our Story
Hemisphere was founded in 1993 by current president Jim Aronitz. He was driven by a passion for the financial markets and a belief that wise investing can make a difference in people’s lives.
“I wanted to build an investment company singularly dedicated to clients and to serve clients without distraction from the political and organizational pressures often encountered in larger firms.”
This belief remains at Hemisphere’s core, as we continue to help our clients achieve financial success. As Hemisphere transitions through its succession plan, our client-first mentality and focus on providing an unbiased service remains the same.
Three Decades Strong And Just Getting Started
What happens when your investment advisor retires or your firm is acquired?
Too often, clients at large financial institutions find themselves reassigned, handed off to new relationship managers, or left in the dark. These transitions can disrupt the trust you have built and leave you questioning the continuity of your financial plan.
You are often told to take a long-term view on investing. But how can you do that when your advisor is disengaged or abruptly changing?
At Hemisphere, many of our relationships span decades and generations. Our commitment is not just to manage your assets today, but to guide you and your family well into the future.
Continuity - So You Always Know Who is Looking After Your Wealth
We operate with a clear succession plan and a team-based structure, giving you confidence that your wealth will be managed consistently – no matter what the future brings
Communication - So You Know Your Goals are On Track
You receive proactive, transparent communication so you always know where you stand and what we are doing on your behalf.
Caring - So You Always Know We Are Serving Your Best Interests
Our focus is not just growing your wealth, but also the relationship behind it. You receive attentive, personal guidance from people who genuinely care.
Know What You Own Podcast
The Know What You Own Podcast invites you inside the conversations we, at Hemisphere Capital Management, have every day. We explore what makes a company worth owning and the factors that drive long-term success. No hype. No sales pitch. No hidden agenda. Just clear, honest discussions between professionals.
How We Can Help Serve You Better
Are there embedded commissions or trailer fees? Are there restrictions on selling or switching the product? How is the product valued? These are critical questions, but too often they go unasked or unanswered.
At Hemisphere, we believe the burden should not fall on you to uncover potential conflicts. As an independent investment manager based in Calgary, we are not tied to any bank, investment dealer, or insurance company. We are not influenced by product quotas or corporate agendas.
At many large investment groups, advisors may face restrictions on the investment products they can offer — or may be incentivized to recommend certain products. Unfortunately, these products do not always align with your best interests.
Our structure is simple: no hidden incentives, no conflicted advice — just transparent, client-first guidance. With Hemisphere, trust is a commitment you can see and feel in every interaction.
The financial landscape in Canada is filled with a wide range of certifications and titles. It can be difficult to tell the difference between a qualified professional and someone with limited expertise. This raises concerns about the quality of advice.
Hemisphere’s investment professionals are Chartered Financial Analysts (CFA) or Chartered Investment Managers (CIM). We maintain rigorous ethical standards in asset management and performance reporting, ensuring honesty and clarity at every step.
We are legally and ethically bound to put your interests first. Our fiduciary duty requires us to provide advice that is objective, conflict-free, and aligned with your financial goals.
But our commitment goes beyond requirements. It is about trust, transparency, and consistently doing what is right for you.
We are focused on steady returns through proven asset classes. We specialize in managing diversified portfolios of publicly-traded and high-quality equities, bonds, and preferred shares – not illiquid or opaque alternatives and private investments.
As more financial advisors and planners shift to virtual models and standardized offerings, personalization is fading just when you need it most.
At Hemisphere, we know that managing your wealth is not a one-size-fits-all solution. It is your individual financial situation that allows us to truly demonstrate our value. We are here to guide you with insight, care, and precision.
Investment Management Calgary
Investing With Conviction. Managing With Care.
At Hemisphere, we believe that clear investing principles are essential to building lasting financial success. These principles guide how we evaluate opportunities, manage risk, and make decisions — not based on market noise, but on analysis, research, and long-term perspective.
The investment managers at Hemisphere are conservative individuals. We operate with a disciplined, but flexible, decision-making process. It is through our principles that we are able to shape our approach to success.
Maximizing Long-Term Net Worth
We are not market timers. Successful investment management is about effective asset allocation over the long-term between equities and fixed income.
Investing With A Margin of Safety
Our conservatism means we would rather be reasonably certain of a good result than hopeful of a great one. Good investing is about avoiding mistakes.
Disciplined Approach
Conviction in our insight and decision-making approach facilitates the framework to successful and reliable investment management.
Value Investing
Our business is one of identifying undervalue in the financial markets. We want to own good companies, but at the right price.
Independence of Thought
We think for ourselves. Other business interests, recent investment returns and consensus views do not shape our investment management approach.
