CALGARY, AB, April 9, 2026 /CNW/ - Omnigence Asset Management ("Omnigence") is pleased to announce that ATB Financial ("ATB"), the largest financial institution headquartered in Western Canada, has made a strategic investment (the "Investment") in Arvore Partners LP ("Arvore"), an affiliated partner fund of Omnigence.

The Investment builds on Arvore's recent fundraising momentum, which includes institutional investors, family offices, CIRO dealer networks, asset management firms, and high net worth investors. This momentum, combined with (i) strong operational performance, and (ii) a compelling pipeline of transaction opportunities, positions Arvore to further advance its lower mid-market private equity consolidation strategy. Arvore's portfolio performance continues to support consistent investor cash returns, as reflected in the most recent monthly distribution paid on March 31, 2026, representing an annualized yield of 11.50%.

The partnership with ATB represents an important milestone as Arvore continues to scale its platform. 

"As we continue to grow the Fund, we are proud to have ATB alongside us as a financial partner and advisor, bringing entrepreneurial insight, Western Canadian roots, and a collaborative mindset to support the next phase of our growth," said Stephen Johnston, partner at Arvore and a director of Omnigence.

This Investment further strengthens a relationship spanning more than a decade. What began in 2014 as an introductory discussion has evolved into a trusted partnership grounded in shared values, disciplined underwriting, and a long-term approach to building resilient Canadian businesses.
