Our Story Behind the Numbers
Since 2018, we've been helping Canadian investors make sense of complex financial markets through clear, actionable reporting that cuts through the noise.
1. How We Started
Every good story has humble beginnings. Ours started with a simple frustration that many investors share.
The Problem We Saw
Working in traditional financial firms, we noticed something troubling. Clients received reports filled with jargon and charts that looked impressive but didn't actually help them make decisions. Too many investors were paying for analysis they couldn't use effectively.
Building Something Different
We decided to create reports that real people could actually understand and act on. Not dumbed down – just written in plain English with clear reasoning behind every recommendation. Our first clients were small business owners who needed investment guidance without the corporate fluff.
Growing Through Trust
Word spread organically. Clients started referring their colleagues because our reports helped them make better investment choices. We added more Canadian market coverage and developed our signature analysis format that breaks down complex financial data into actionable insights.
Where We Stand Today
Today, we serve over 200 Canadian businesses and individual investors. Our reports have guided decisions on everything from retirement planning to business expansion funding. We're still that same team, just with more experience and better tools.
2. What Makes Us Different
Most financial analysts talk about market trends. We talk about what those trends mean for your specific situation.
Our approach is straightforward: we dig into the data, find the patterns that matter, and explain them in ways that help you make confident decisions. No fancy predictions about market timing – just solid analysis of what's happening and why it matters to you.
And honestly? We think investing should make sense to the person doing it. That's why our clients actually read our reports instead of filing them away.
3. The People Behind Your Reports
Meet the team that spends their days making sense of financial markets so you don't have to.
Henrik Bjornsson
Henrik spent eight years at major investment firms before getting frustrated with over-complicated reports. He started Caltocron to create analysis that actually helps people make decisions. He's the guy who reads annual reports so you don't have to.
Dmitri Volkov
Dmitri joined us in 2020 after working in portfolio management for Canadian pension funds. He brings deep knowledge of risk assessment and has a talent for explaining complex market dynamics in simple terms that make sense.
Our Promise
Every report we write gets reviewed by both analysts. We don't publish anything unless we'd be comfortable explaining it to our own families over dinner. That's our standard.
4. How We Actually Work
These aren't corporate values on a wall. They're the principles that guide how we research, write, and deliver every piece of analysis.
Data Over Opinions
We start with numbers, not hunches. Every recommendation comes from thorough research of financial statements, market trends, and economic indicators. If we can't support it with data, we don't suggest it.
Relevant Analysis
Generic market commentary doesn't help anyone. We focus on sectors and companies that matter to Canadian investors, with analysis that applies to real investment decisions you might actually make.
Plain English
Financial jargon serves no one except the people trying to sound smart. We explain everything in clear language because you should understand exactly what you're investing in and why.
Timely Insights
Markets change fast, and outdated analysis is worthless. We update our research regularly and send alerts when something significant happens that affects our previous recommendations.
Why This Matters
Good investment decisions come from understanding what you're buying and why. Our job is to give you that understanding without making you become a financial expert yourself.
We've seen too many investors make choices based on incomplete information or overly complex advice they didn't really understand. That's exactly what we're trying to change.
