Lorne Park Capital Partners Inc. Recognized on the Globe and Mail's Seventh Annual Ranking of Canada's Top Growing Companies

Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - September 26, 2025) - Lorne Park Capital Partners Inc. (TSXV: LPC) ("Lorne Park" or the "Company") is pleased to announce it has ranked No. 395 overall on the 2025 Report on Business magazine's ranking of Canada's Top Growing Companies, and No. 25 in the financial services category.

Canada's Top Growing Companies ranks Canadian businesses based on three-year revenue growth. Lorne Park earned its spot with a 46% three-year growth rate, marking its second consecutive year on this prestigious list.

Earlier this year, Lorne Park was also featured in the Financial Times list of The Americas' Fastest Growing Companies for the fourth consecutive year. This ranking, conducted in partnership with Statista Inc., highlights businesses across the Americas demonstrating exceptional revenue growth.

Lorne Park, through its wholly owned subsidiaries, Bellwether Investment Management Inc. and Bellwether Investment Management USA, LLC, has continued to execute a disciplined, long-term growth strategy. For over a decade, the Company has established a national wealth management platform by collaborating with experienced portfolio managers and family wealth advisors to provide customized investment solutions to affluent families across Canada and the United States.

In addition to expanding its U.S. footprint through the acquisitions of Promus Asset Management, LLC and Fulcrum Equity Management, LLC, Lorne Park further enhanced its investment platform in late 2024 by forming a strategic partnership with Sakara Capital Inc. This initiative introduced a new private equity program offering institutional-quality access to global middle-market private equity investments traditionally reserved for institutional investors.

"Being recognized once again among Canada's Top Growing Companies underscores the strength of our platform and the value we bring to our clients and partners," said Robert Sewell, President and CEO. "We're committed to delivering best-in-class investment solutions — across both public and private markets — and empowering our advisor network to meet the evolving needs of high-net-worth families, particularly those with complex cross-border planning requirements."

Canada's Top Growing Companies is an editorial ranking that was launched in 2019 to celebrate the achievements of innovative businesses in Canada. To qualify for this voluntary program, companies were required to complete an in-depth application process and fulfill revenue requirements. In total, 400 companies earned a spot on this year's ranking.

The full list of 2025 winners, along with editorial coverage, is published in the October 2025 issue of Report on Business magazine.

"Our annual ranking of Canada's Top Growing Companies reflects the sector-spanning ingenuity of this country's entrepreneurs and corporate leaders," says Dawn Calleja, Editor of Report on Business magazine. "And we think it's important to tell their stories, to help inspire the next generation of up-and-comers across the country."

Looking ahead, Lorne Park plans to continue expanding its North American presence and introducing innovative investment solutions tailored to the evolving needs of affluent families.
