JLD-Laguë Group
JLD-Laguë Group is a Canadian single-family office based in Laval, Québec, focused on direct real estate, infrastructure, and private credit investments.
JLD-Laguë Group
The JLD-Laguë Group was founded by its namesake principal based in Laval, Québec. While the firm does not publicly disclose its wealth origin, it operates as a single-family office anchored in Canadian real estate and infrastructure investment. The firm focuses on direct investments in real estate, infrastructure, and private credit. It holds positions in commercial and industrial properties across Quebec, alongside infrastructure assets such as transportation and energy networks. The group also provides private credit to mid-market Canadian companies and municipal entities, typically in senior secured structures. Its geographic footprint is concentrated in Quebec and Eastern Canada, with select exposures in Ontario. Team size and total deployment are not disclosed. The firm maintains no known additional offices beyond its Laval headquarters. A recent operational event: in 2024, the group expanded its private credit portfolio by underwriting a senior secured loan to a Quebec-based transportation infrastructure operator (public record). A structural differentiator of JLD-Laguë Group is its unusual mandate: it operates as both a direct investor and a private credit lender, blending balance-sheet deployment with origination capabilities typical of a mid-market lender. This hybrid model gives the firm dual income streams and a steady pipeline of proprietary deal flow in a region underserved by institutional capital.
