Track Record
Started in late 2003, Advantage is already the largest and best performing venture capital corporation in British Columbia.  In 2006, we received the Canadian Venture Capital Association Deal of the Year Award for achieving the highest return on a single investment (23.4X return on our investment in Aspreva Pharmaceuticals) realized in that year. 

We currently have over $70,000,000 under management and the BC government has provided us with an annual $20,000,000 tax credit allocation.  To date, we have sold out our entire tax credit allocation every year before the conclusion of tax season.
