About Formula Growth Limited
Formula Growth Limited is one of Canada's oldest and most renowned investment firms with a track record spanning over 54 years. Its original mutual fund, the Formula Growth Fund, was founded in 1960 and was recently the subject of a book entitled Up and to the Right by Mr. Craig Toomey. The book, published by the McGill-Queen's University Press, details how the Formula Growth Fund and its founder, the late John W. Dobson, and other original investors invested $10,000 each. Today, that same $10,000 is worth more than $7,000,000. Since its inception in June 1960, the Formula Growth Fund has compounded returns after fees at US$ 12.6% versus 10.1% for the S&P500 total return.
About "Up and to the Right"
In 1960, Montrealer John Dobson launched an informal investment club with a close group of friends and associates, including future Prime Minister John Turner. His Formula Growth Fund would go on to become one of North America's most successful investment funds, consistently outperforming the Dow Jones Industrial Average and attracting the likes of legendary investor Sir John Templeton.
With a foreword by His Excellency the Right Honourable David Johnson, Governor General of Canada, Up and to the Right tells the story behind John Dobson's Investment success as well as his many contributions to entrepreneurial education. The book provides valuable insight into Dobson's unconventional but disciplined investment approach, his uncanny ability to predict winning stocks, and his unwavering faith in the market despite its many ups and downs.
