THE FOUNDER

 

As founder, Talbot Babineau is responsible for actively pursuing new investment opportunities and maximizing the value of Bryson’s existing portfolio. Talbot has accumulated nearly two decades of experience being a successful entrepreneur and investor.

 

In 2010, he was engaged by two highly successful Canadians to form and manage their Family Office. The Family Office experienced tremendous success under his management and, in 2014, Talbot founded IBV Capital.

 

IBV Capital was an investment manager dedicated to delivering attractive long-term rates of return through our value-oriented approach. It invested across developed markets globally in high-quality businesses that are undervalued because they are misunderstood, overlooked, or temporarily affected by a market event.

 

Prior to forming the Family Office and founding IBV Capital, Talbot held various positions at institutional real estate firms where he was responsible for investment activities and strategic planning.

​

Currently, Talbot is a Non-Executive Director at AMA Group Limited. AMA Group is the biggest collision repair network across Australia and New Zealand. His philanthropic pursuits include an appointment as a Non-Executive Director at the Lung Health Foundation. The Lung Health Foundation is Canada’s largest not-for-profit that’s dedicated to ending gaps in the prevention, diagnosis, and care of lung disease.

 

Talbot is a CFA Charterholder and earned an Honours Economics and Financial Management degree from Wilfrid Laurier University

For Bryson Holdings, investing is about creating and fostering partnerships. We aspire to build great businesses and work with family owners, founders, and management teams to accelerate their success and preserve their legacies. We would enjoy having a conversation if you are considering entrepreneur or family succession planning, a recapitalization, corporate carve-out, or management buyout.

​

Currently, we are seeking investment opportunities in North American small and medium sized companies that include many of the following characteristics:

  • Revenues up to $150 million

  • EBITDA up to $15 million

  • Significant minority or control equity investments

  • Management team interested in ownership stake

  • Strong, sustainable free cash flow

 

Our focus is on finding businesses with attractive fundamental characteristics,  within industries benefiting from predictable and durable growth prospects. We are comfortable exploring opportunities without a narrow industry or vertical focus in mind. Often, we're most attracted to niche businesses - in cottage industries - that few have ever heard of before.

 

While we have enjoyed success investing in the follow verticals, we are open to exploring others.
