Building Financial Futures Together
We started Uextarim because small capital investors deserve the same quality guidance that's traditionally been reserved for wealthy clients. Every day, we work with real people who want to grow their savings thoughtfully.
Our Beginning
Back in 2020, I was working with a community credit union in northern Quebec. What struck me most was how many members had $5,000 to $15,000 they wanted to invest, but felt completely lost about where to start.
Traditional investment firms either had minimum requirements way above what these folks could invest, or they'd get shuffled into generic mutual funds with high fees. Nobody was really listening to their actual goals or explaining things in plain language.
That's when I realized there was a real gap. People with smaller amounts to invest weren't getting the personalized guidance they deserved. They had the same dreams—retirement security, helping their kids, building something for the future—but fewer resources to make it happen.
So we built Uextarim specifically for small capital investors. Not as a consolation prize, but as a specialized service designed around the unique opportunities and challenges that come with growing wealth from the ground up.
How We Think About Small Capital Investing
Small capital investing isn't just "big investing with less money." It requires different strategies, different timelines, and different approaches to risk. Here's what we've learned works.
Start Where You Are
Whether you have $2,000 or $20,000, we build strategies around your actual situation. No pretending you have resources you don't have. No pressure to invest more than makes sense for your life.
Education First
We believe you should understand why we're recommending specific investments. Every strategy comes with clear explanations, realistic timelines, and honest discussions about what could go wrong.
Gradual Growth
Small capital investing is about building sustainable habits over time. We focus on strategies you can stick with through market ups and downs, gradually increasing complexity as your knowledge and portfolio grow.
Real Life Flexibility
Life happens. Job changes, family needs, unexpected expenses. Our strategies account for this reality instead of assuming you can set it and forget it for decades.

Torben Lindquist
Founder & Investment Strategist
I've been working in community banking and credit unions across Quebec for over twelve years. What I love most about this work is helping people figure out realistic paths toward their financial goals.
Before starting Uextarim, I managed investment programs for three different credit unions, working primarily with members who had smaller portfolios. I noticed that conventional investment advice often didn't fit their situations very well.
When I'm not thinking about investment strategies, you'll find me hiking the Laurentian Mountains or trying to perfect my sourdough bread technique. Both activities have taught me patience—which turns out to be pretty useful in the investing world too.
