Giving Back
Holiday Food Drive
Thank you to all the donors of our holiday food drive for Weston Area Emergency Support (WAES) . We raised more than $4,600. With the money raised, Veritas employees, family and friends went shopping to donate the food directly to WAES.
The need is urgent. In October and November, WAES had over 3,400 visits, up 20% from last year. This equates to over 4,000 more visits this year to date.
Veritas has raised $17,500 in previous food drives for WAES.

Our Track Record
What is the V-List?
Veritas' track record is measured through our V-List, a model portfolio that has outperformed the S&P/TSX Composite Index by 289 basis points annually (as of December 31, 2024, from inception on October 31, 2004).
The V-List is a concentrated portfolio of 12 to 25 companies recommended by Veritas Investment Research as the best investment opportunities drawn from our firm’s research.
Stocks are selected based on their liquidity, lower volatility and potential for long-term capital appreciation, using bottom-up fundamental analysis and a strict review of accounting and disclosure practices to identify companies with defensible competitive advantages and the ability to generate meaningful cash flow.
V-List Model Portfolio vs S&P/TSX Index Since 2004 Inception
Returns greater than 1-year are presented as compound annual growth rates. *V-List inception October 30, 2004.

Lundin gold expands Ecuador drilling capacity
Martin Pradier, our Materials Sector Analyst. appeared on BNN Bloomberg to provide his insights on Lundin Gold Inc.'s (TSX: LUG) drilling in Ecuador. Up 111% for the year to date, Lundin Gold has been one of Martin's TOP PICKS for its rising production, high grades and low costs. The company has a 100%-owned gold mine called Fruta del Norte (FDN) in Ecuador but has been drilling at a nearby site called Bonza Sur and announced more successful drilling results this week. Martin visited the area recently and wrote a report last month for our clients about the company's prospects to double production over the next five to six years.
