Oakville, Ontario, May 13, 2008 - Bellwether, an independent boutique investment management firm specializing in North American equities, shared their views on the current and future market outlook with invited guests. The seminar took place at the Credit Valley Golf and Country Club.

"We always look forward to an opportunity to share our views on the current investment climate and the trends we see going forward." says John Wood, Chairman.

Mr Wood added; "With the current volatility in the market, it seemed timely for us to share our understanding of the themes that are driving the market. The presentation looked at the significant impact that China and India are having on markets around the world; importantly for investors, how this can be used by Bellwether to capture excellent market opportunities in North America.

"We see two very different equity markets in North America. Canada, with its significant emphasis on commodity stocks, will benefit from burgeoning markets like China and India as the economic growth will force greater demand for oil, metals, and food. But with the negative sentiment currently leveled towards the US, there are a number of tremendous opportunities to capture high profitability growth at very low valuations in the US market." says Mr. Wood.

Bellwether believes believe that the most prudent way to invest in these emerging economies is through North American listed companies who are active in China and India rather than investing in those countries' stock exchanges. They believe that investing in companies listed on North American exchanges provides them with access to financial information that follow GAAP principles which they are familiar with and can interpret in the same manner as every stock they review.

Bellwether's investment approach is based on the fact that the shares of companies that produce consistent growth in profitability are more likely to produce superior returns for their shareholders. Bellwether captures this with their proprietary "Disciplined Growth" investment process. It combines the rigorous discipline of quantitative investment analysis with the business judgment of Bellwether's partners. "Disciplined Growth" is the framework in which their valuation processes identify stocks of companies with long-term profitable records not recognized by the market.

John Wood says "we specialize in fulfilling high net worth investors' need for superior returns. Our objective is to provide them with consistent, attractive, risk-adjusted returns with lower correlations to the equity markets."

Bellwether is an independent boutique investment management company that was formed to produce above average returns for High-Net-Worth Individuals, Foundations, and Institutional investors.
