What are Private Investments?

Private Investments

Private investments are those not listed on public exchanges and typically not offered through chartered banks or other financial institutions making them more challenging for investors to easily access. They offer useful investment strategies for investors looking to diversify their portfolios from traditional stocks, bonds or mutual funds. Pinnacle aims to bring these opportunities to all investors through our network of Private Market Specialists.

How to Buy Private Investments?

Private investments can be purchased through Exempt Market Dealers, such as Pinnacle Wealth Brokers Inc., providing investors with the opportunity to participate in investment opportunities through prospectus exemptions under applicable securities laws in Canada.
