We seek to continue to grow. PIC Investment Group Inc is a Family Office. We have three tracts to our growth: “active investments” that we own and control through a formal board governance process, in addition to “partnerships” with managing partners, as well as dozens of “portfolio equity investments”. We are strategically trying to maintain our focus within chemical distribution & manufacturing, niche transportation, real estate, agriculture, and health. Our experience and past success in these trajectories allow us to have positive impact.

Like the Science of Hitting (Ted Williams) and the “circle of competence” (Warren Buffet); take your swings at the pitches within your strike zone where you hit your home runs.

PIC provides financial services, HR support, M&A identification, execution & closing expertise, payroll & benefits, leadership training & development, board governance and strategic planning. The PIC Group SixPAC senior leadership team consisting of Cara Petrovicz, Craig Bell, Hugh MacGowan, Laurie Dmytryshyn, Terris Chorney and I provide portfolio management services to our active investments and partnerships. On our best days we are the anti-Red Tape committee or bring multi-dimensional acquisitions or partnerships into the group. All of our companies demonstrated resilience against a great economic slowdown. In their reports you will hear about organic growth at ClearTech, CanGas, and Kreos. IT projects at CanGas, ClearTech, and Long Lake Insurance helped to improve efficiency and reduce human error. Meanwhile, all of our companies found a way to grow.

PIC Group’s collection of 35 portfolio equity investments (in aggregate) every year pay a dividend, or return on capital, or one sells, and we receive our return on investment. We place investment in existing or new companies for returns in future years. 2025 was a good year of work improving our operations by being resilient. We worked hard to find efficiencies. We made progress wherever we could, often without dramatic effect. We learned a lot, often by teaching or coaching. We look forward to what the future holds as we prepare ourselves and our teams for the next big leap forward.
