About Us

GMRD is part of the Global Manager Research organization. The organization has two divisions which are focused on web-enabled databases for different market segments.

GMRD - Global Manager Research Database is Canada's leading database of Investment Managers since 1986. It provides clients, whether they are Consultants, Investment Managers, Plan Sponsors or High net-worth advisors, with current, accurate, unbiased and descriptive information about Investment Managers and their products.

PCIM - Property & Casualty Investment Monitor is Canada's only database focused on comparing investment returns of the P & C Insurance Industry. Started over 15 years ago, it's considered the industry standard and performs performance measurement for many companies, including 7 of the top 10 firms.

A related company is Global Investment Solutions, an investment consulting firm delivering customized full-service Investment Manager search, selection, research and performance monitoring.

GMRD - Canada's leading Investment Manager database for more than 20 years. In 2000, we acquired a paper-based directory and converted into a web-accessed source of Investment Manager information (then called CanadianMgrSearch). The database has been significantly enhanced from it's early days, by expanding the scope to a Global basis, adding more Investment Managers and more products. Also important has been improving the descriptive information, analysis tools and reports.

GMRD entered into a strategic alliance with Wilshire Associates, enabling us to incorporate their extensive database of Investment Manager information into GMRD. This added even more US and International Investment Managers and their products into the GMRD database.
