Founded in 2005 by Allison Taylor and Jason Brooks, Invico Capital Corporation is a prime example of a local success story in the city of Calgary. Starting from humble beginnings, Invico has steadily grown to become one of Canada's leading private investment fund management firms managing over $1.5 billion in private capital. The company is a proud supporter of gender and racial equality and has a workforce that is comprised of majority women, which positions it as a rarity in the world of finance. The firm also offers unique opportunities for investors that provide access to niche sectors, like energy and film and media, and strives to ensure their needs are met in a constantly evolving marketplace. Further, Invico is a staunch advocate of community involvement and has donated to various charities and ventures within the city, including the University of Calgary’s Haskayne School of Business Capital Expansion Project, and volunteered with various student organizations throughout Calgary.
With this in mind, Invico is pleased to share that they have helped finance a new bus for a local K-12 school, Calgary Academy, which will allow students to experience off-campus learning excursions.
“We are incredibly excited to give back to Calgary Academy, a local institution that provides a unique solution in education that helps students reach their academic goals and builds their confidence and self-esteem," said Jason Brooks, President of Invico. "All three of my children have attended CA, with two currently enrolled, and I know that CA has granted them the opportunity to achieve in education in a way that will positively impact them for the rest of their lives.”
“Bigger capital expenditures like a new bus are often difficult to find room for in budgets and Invico is pleased to support the school so more funds can remain in the classroom," said Allison Taylor, Chief Executive Officer of Invico. Jason and I see a lot of Invico in CA’s origin story and continued growth over the years, and we believe the school has a very bright future ahead of it.”
