The ShareOwner Group of affiliates ("ShareOwner") is an education and training organization that was founded in 1987 by then Professor of Finance John T. Bart, B.Eng. ’65 (Royal Military College of Canada); M.B.A. ’70 and Ph.D. ’74 (Ivey Business School, University of Western Ontario).

Today, ShareOwner is focused on delivering proven growth-stock education and true-to-life portfolio training to individual investors and investment clubs.

Affiliate: ShareOwner Education Inc.
Since 1987, an affiliate has been teaching investors how to recognize and invest successfully in high-quality growth stocks over the longer term.

Those skills are taught principally through the Growth-Stock Mentorship Program.

ShareOwner owes much of its instructional success to the powerful growth-stock selection tools first developed by George Nicholson Jr. in the 1940s.

In 1951, those tools became the educational cornerstone for the U.S.-based National Association of Investors Corporation (NAIC). In 1961 the World Federation of Investors was formed to share the tools with long-term investors everywhere. Today, investor education organizations in North and South America, Europe and Asia include stock selection tools in their programs.

In 1987, Professor Bart modernized and further developed those tools to launch ShareOwner’s growth-stock education program. Ten years later, he opted for an early retirement from the University of Windsor, where he is a Professor Emeritus.

Professor Bart continues his educational mission as ShareOwner’s Chief Mentor.

Since 1987, some 100,000 investors have enrolled in various ShareOwner’s education programs.
