Executive Vice-President and Chief Investment Officer
AGF Investments Inc.

Martin Hubbes is Executive Vice-President and Chief Investment Officer of AGF Investments Inc.

As EVP and CIO, Martin's chief responsibility is to lead and build AGF's award-winning fund management team. His focus is investing in the team, providing them with the right tools and resources to succeed and working diligently in the best interests of securityholders.

With more than 15 years of direct mutual fund experience, Martin brings a deep knowledge of AGF's investment management strengths, continuity and vision to this role.

Martin remains fiercely committed to the concept of continuity and excellence in fund management. He believes that excellence in fund management comes from the quality of a firm's research and the capabilities of its investment management teams to generate long-term sustainable fund performance. He is a strong proponent of rigorous fundamental analysis, risk controls and having a strong disciplined investment management process.

In addition to this mandate, Martin is the lead portfolio manager of AGF Canada Class, AGF Canadian Stock Class and AGF Canadian Stock Fund. With a disciplined approach to choosing stocks, Martin believes that a portfolio manager's job is not performance at any cost, but performance by minimizing risk.

After joining AGF in 1992 as an Investment Analyst, Martin was appointed Managing Director of AGF Management (Deutschland) GmbH in Berlin the following year. He returned to Canada in 1994 and became lead portfolio manager of AGF Canadian Stock Fund in 1996.

With a BSc and MSc in Biochemistry from the University of Toronto, Martin seemed destined for a career in the pharmaceutical industry. His decision to get an IMBA from the Schulich School of Business at York University meant that he would have to spend four months working abroad. This led him to work for an AGF subsidiary in Germany and eventually apply for employment at AGF upon returning home to Canada.

Fluent in both French and German, Martin is a member of the Toronto CFA Society and managed AGF's United Way campaign in 2006.

Originally born and raised in Quebec City, Martin now makes his home in Toronto with his partner, Suzanne and their son Olivier.
