Newport Private Wealth Family Office
Newport Private Wealth Family Office was established in 2001 by Douglas C. Brown, Mark A. Kinney and David T. Lloyd. The three founders created a multi-family office that delivers investment management, estate planning, insurance and philanthropic advisory to Canadian families. The firm operates from a single Toronto headquarters and reports more than C$4 billion under management. The firm allocates across private equity, real estate, private credit, infrastructure and commodities. It executes direct co-investments and SPVs rather than relying solely on fund commitments. Confirmed holdings include a multi-family residential portfolio in the United States and Canada, units in Centurion Apartment REIT, and a private equity secondaries fund. Geographic exposure centers on North America with additional infrastructure projects held globally. The firm maintains memberships in Philanthropic Foundations Canada and the Portfolio Management Association of Canada. It sponsors the Newport Private Wealth Forum and the Champions for Charity event. Service providers include National Bank Independent Network as custodian and Deloitte and PwC as auditors. NFP Corp. acquired the firm in 2022; Madison Dearborn Partners later included it in a 2025 platform consolidation.
