Why More Investors Are Turning to Private Markets

Investors are discovering that private investing offers more control, more predictability, and better alignment with their values; without the stress of public market volatility.

Private Investing is Ideal For...

Business owners with liquidity after a sale
Professionals with HoldCo or corporate cash
High-income earners seeking passive income
Couples seeking peace of mind, not portfolio stress
Those nearing retirement and want stability

Rainmaker specializes in helping Canadians transition into structured, income-generating private portfolios with full clarity and without giving up performance.

Public Markets Were Never Designed for Peace of Mind

Stock market returns are unpredictable. News cycles create emotional swings. Indexes are built for scale, not for individual investor needs. Many of our clients felt like they were playing a game with rules that kept changing - until they discovered private investing.

"It felt like I had no control over my future. Now, I actually understand what I’m invested in."
