Felix Narhi

Felix Narhi is the Chief Investment Officer of Pender and the Portfolio Manager of the Pender US All Cap Equity Fund and the Pender Strategic Growth and Income Fund, and Co-Manager of the Pender Value Fund.

The Pender Value Fund has received Fundata’s FundGrade® A+ Award in 2016 and 2017. This award recognizes funds that have maintained “an exceptional performance rating over the entire previous calendar year”.

Prior to joining Pender in July 2013, Felix spent over nine years at an independent and value-oriented investment firm in Vancouver. As a Director and Senior Equity Analyst, he contributed thought leadership and primarily US equity ideas to the company’s Model Portfolio, a concentrated equity portfolio that has outpaced North American benchmarks since its inception in 1994.

Felix holds a Bachelor of Commerce degree from the University of British Columbia. He earned his Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) designation in 2003 and is a member of CFA Vancouver.

Felix advocates a business-like approach to investing. Sound investing is the process of determining the value underlying a security and then buying it at a considerable discount to that value. The greatest challenge is to maintain the necessary balance between patience, emotional fortitude and discipline to only buy when prices are attractive and to sell when they are dear, while avoiding the short-term “noise” that consumes most market participants.
