Canadian Investment Grade

Corporate Credit

East Coast Asset Management provides investors with exposure to Canadian Investment Grade Corporate Credit.

East Coast Asset Management (“ECAM”) was founded in 2019 by Michael MacBain, who saw an opportunity to establish a local investment manager in the Cayman Islands.

Since then, the firm has grown to over $1.8bn in AUM, employing the investment grade credit strategy - used previously at the predecessor investment management firm, East Coast Fund Management Inc. (Toronto, Canada) – with ever-evolving refinement on strategy scope and risk management.

ECAM established portfolio management and sub-advisory mandates in 2020 - chief among them is the mandate for East Coast SPC, the firm’s flagship fund.

WHY ECFMI

We believe isolation of credit spreads

creates a compelling opportunity

01 Reduced Volatility

The isolation of credit spreads creates a compelling diversification benefit and return opportunity that behaves differently from traditional bond funds.

02 Diversification Benefit

Unlike private credit alternatives, our strategy offers meaningful liquidity and full transparency — often under-appreciated until most needed.

03 Liquidity & Transparency

Our investors benefit from reduced volatility while being protected from capital losses typically incurred in fixed income due to rising interest rates.
