The Clavis Foundation

The Clavis Foundation

The Clavis Foundation was established as a multi-family office headquartered in Montreal, with additional offices in Xiamen (China), Ottawa, Salem, Boca Raton, and Fort Lauderdale. The firm's founding date and named principals are not publicly disclosed. The firm's strategy spans multiple asset classes, including direct equity investments, real estate, and private placements across North America and Asia. The Clavis Foundation participates in co-investments alongside external partners, though specific portfolio companies or deal-level exposure remain undisclosed. The organization maintains a presence across six cities in two continents, with the Xiamen office indicating Asia-Pacific reach. Its team size and total deployment are not publicly available. The foundation operates philanthropic structures, as suggested by its name, though separation from investment activities is not detailed in public records. A distinguishing feature is the firm's multinational footprint, which is unusual for a family office of its size — bridging Canadian, US, and Chinese markets through direct offices rather than through fund intermediaries. The foundation model suggests a dual mandate of wealth management and charitable giving, though specific governance details are not public.
