Arwad Partners Inc. is built around direct relationships, selective mandates and transaction-specific involvement across markets.
Based in Toronto, the firm draws on an established network of relationships across key international markets.
Arwad typically does not own the assets, supply the products or provide the capital involved in the transactions it works on.
It acts between parties to a transaction, helping bring together relevant demand and opportunity and remaining involved where the mandate requires it.
Arwad may act on behalf of a buyer, seller, owner, investor or other commercial party depending on the transaction.
Arwad is engaged around a specific requirement or opportunity rather than on a general advisory basis.
The scope of each mandate is agreed at the outset and depends on what the client requires: from identifying the other side of a transaction to remaining involved as the deal progresses.
Commercial terms are agreed on a mandate-by-mandate basis and may include transaction or success-based fees.

Beyond its partner locations, Arwad’s network of relationships extends internationally, allowing the firm to originate and connect transactions across markets.
Arwad takes its name from the ancient Mediterranean island trading city whose importance was shaped by its position within the commercial networks of its time.
Its value came from connection: linking people, goods and markets across routes larger than itself.
That idea remains relevant today.
Opportunity moves through networks.
Looking to acquire, procure or find something.
Bringing something to market.
