Cynergy Research is "more than just a research service": we originally started doing this research for our own family capital investments and we are pleased to have achieved steady success over the decades. The companies we recommend in the Model Portfolio reflect our own family portfolio companies that have been carefully selected over time. In all the years we have had an occasional failure, however the many successes have been material. We only recommend companies to our clients which we are also invested in.

Therefore, our job at Cynergy Research Services is to:

- include Canadian & International companies in the Model Portfolio that share the "1%" characteristics;
- monitor up-and-coming companies for inclusion in the Model Portfolio as they are on their way to global scale, and
- weed out former top companies when they've reached their peak and are about to begin their decline.
- mediocrity has a cost.
