On August 30, 2011, Sustainable Capital is pleased to announce that Shawn Boire, CFA, a vetern analyst and portfolio manager, has joined its research team.

Shawn was an analyst for Fidelity Canada and Pyramis for nearly 8 years. He moved through four different rotations (small caps, consumer, energy & technology and a U.S. broad coverage assignment.) He was primary lead on over 500 companies in both Canada and U.S. markets during his tenure. He also managed sub portfolios of three different portfolios (FICL Discipline Equity, FICL Global Natural Resources and FIL Industrial Pool) where he contributed positive absolute and relative performance. The assets under management in the sub-portfolios ranged from $25MM to $300MM.

Shawn’s biggest and longest assignment was the Canadian energy sector (along with all global peers for reference and portfolios). He was the prime analyst for almost four years responsible for recommendations, models and relationships with management teams for Integrated, E&P & services companies of all sizes. Shawn ranked highly during his tenure with above average metrics in accuracy and value added contributions.  Shawn recently was a Portfolio Manager at Blumont Capital managing the Blumont North American Fund. Shawn designed and constructed this unique fund to invest in North American small and mid-cap stocks. The fund outperformed its benchmark by 940bps during its existence before a change in mandate.

We believe Shawn is a valuable addition to our research team and we look forward to working with Shawn on future research reports.

On August 20, 2011, Sustainable Capital’s partner and Cleanteach & Sustainable Energy analyst, Sabrina Tsai, was invited to be the new Cleantech and Alternative Power Contributor for The Prospector: Exploration and Investment News (The Prospector).

“Frequently I have people asking me how to invest in green while having a good return on their investments at the same time. I am excited to write for the magazine as it is a great way to reach out to investor seeking information on cleantech and renewable energy investment opportunities. The clean tech and energy sector is growing at a much more rapid rate than the traditional energy sector. Vancouver is considered one of the top cleantech cities in the world because it has so many green entrepreneurs and small companies locally that it attracts capital from the Silicon Valley, a traditional source of green VC capital. The same investment opportunities should be visible to the general investing public, rather than a select group of investors.” says Sabrina.

Sabrina’s first article will be in the October issue of The Prospector.

Bears are chained by running metal through their sensitive noses with visible bite marks on the muzzel.

Vancouver, B.C., June 25, 2011.  Sustainable Capital announced that it has made a donation to World Society for the Protection of Animals (WSPA), an organization that has been promoting animal welfare for more than 25 years. WSPA work is concentrated in regions of the world where few, if any, measures exist to protect animals.

There is a sport called “Bear Baiting” in Parkistan. Bear cubs are taken from their mothers, teeth knocked out, declawed, and nose pierced to run a leash rope through it. Those bears are chained in the centre of a fight arena, where vicious dogs are released to attack the bears freely with the most vicious dog winning the fight.  “This is hardly a fair fight if the bears are malnourished, defenseless and chained to the ground.” said Sabrina Tsai.  Most of the bears have open and infected wounds and ripped ears and muzzles.  The majority of these bears, perhaps mercifully, do not live past the age of ten – half the life expectancy of bears in the wild. Some bears are beaten since they are young to submit to dance to humans.  ”I understand poverty drives people to take desperate measure to make a living but I am constantly amazed at what some people are capable of doing to animals and what some people find entertaining. In North America, we treat our pets like kings and queens while other animals are suffering elsewhere. Why not widen the circle of compassion to include other animals? ”

Sustainable Capital is committed to continue to support WSPA. Follow this link to find out more. https://www.wspadonations.org/pages/3683_bear_baiting_appeal_5_11_version_q.cfm

Vancouver, B.C., April 25, 2011.  Sustainable Capital announced that it has made a second donation to Animal Asia Foundation, a charity committed to end animal cruelty in Asia. This charity was brought to Sabrina Tsai’s attention, one of the founders of Sustainable Capital, in February, 2011.

“I opened a forwarded email and I was horrified by the pictures and what I had just read. It was on bile bear farming. It was about Asian black bears (called Moon Bears because of the crescent shape on their chests) having their stomaches cut open for bile extraction, living with this open wound,  imprisoned in crush cages where they can’t move for as long as 20 years. ”

Bile farmers capture Moon Bears and insert tubes into their gullbladders to collect bile, a prized medical ingredient in Traditional Chinese Medicine. The bears live with an open wound with no anesthesia, no antibiotics and endure daily collection. The wounds are open wound and left infected.  They are intentionally starved so more bile is produced. Often the bears bite themselves from immense pain and psychological trauma so their teeths are brutly knocked off by the farmers to prevent self-injury. Many of them have been de-clawed and some have been caged since they are cubs and grew up with deformed bodies as their growth was stunted by the tight dimensions of the cage.

The Foundation is advancing research to replace compounds found in bile with herb extract as well as shutting down bile bear farms and subsequently rehabilitate the bears and house them in an open air sanctuary.

“I am ashamed to be human when I have knowledge of this type of things still taking place in the world. In North America, we treat our pets like royalties, pampering them with toys, clothes, birthday parties. But in parts of China, animals are treated like objects to be utilized by humans anyway we please. Instead of buying our pets another toy, donate that money to help animals that are actually in dire conditions. Those bears are in a living hell.” said Sabrina Tsai.

Sustainable Capital is committed to continue to support the Foundation. Follow this link to find out more. https://www.animalsasia.org/donate/

As of March 21, 2011, Sustainable Capital will open a Vancouver Sales Office for Northern Canadian Supplies Ltd.  (NCSL). The initial office will be in the same building as that of Sustainable Kapital, a division of Sustainable Capital Corporation. 

Strategically, setting up the NCSL sales office, store and warehouse presence, will position NCSL to meet regional government and industrial needs for environmentally friendly cleaning supplies.   NCSL has identified the Metro-Vancouver area as an ideal location to market its products.  Environmental awareness is very high in BC, as is the demand for environmentally friendly products.   Market research indicates that there is an unmet need for a comprehensive line of leading environmentally friendly cleaning products.
