Building Financial Confidence Through Seasonal Patterns
Back in 2018, a small group of investment analysts in Edmonton noticed something interesting. Market behavior wasn't random—it followed predictable seasonal rhythms that most individual investors completely missed.
We started Domithen because we got tired of watching people make the same timing mistakes year after year. Canadian investors deserved better than generic advice that ignored how markets actually move throughout the calendar.
Today, we work with individuals who want to understand the cyclical nature of their investments without getting lost in complexity. Our approach focuses on recognizing patterns, managing risk through seasonal awareness, and building strategies that respect how markets naturally behave.
Seven Years of Pattern Recognition
From a research project to a methodology that helps Canadians time their investment decisions better
2018–2019
Research and Foundation
Started analyzing decades of Canadian market data to identify reliable seasonal patterns. Spent months validating which cycles were statistically significant and which were just noise. Built our first framework for timing entry and exit points based on historical trends.
2020–2022
Real-World Application
Tested our seasonal approach with a small group of investors during one of the most volatile periods in recent history. Learned that having a methodology matters most when emotions run high. Refined our risk management protocols and developed clearer communication tools that helped people stay focused on patterns rather than panic.
2023–2025
Expanding Our Reach
Grew from serving a handful of clients to working with hundreds across Alberta and beyond. Developed educational resources that break down complex seasonal indicators into practical guidance. Now planning workshops for autumn 2025 to help more Canadians understand how market timing can enhance their existing investment strategies.
Pattern-Focused Analysis
We don't chase hot tips or follow the crowd. Instead, we track established seasonal cycles that have shown consistency over decades of market history.
Every recommendation we make is grounded in data about how different sectors perform during specific months, how portfolio allocation shifts might benefit from seasonal awareness, and when risk levels typically increase or decrease.
Education-First Guidance
Understanding beats following. We believe you should know why you're making investment decisions, not just what decisions to make.
Our approach involves explaining the seasonal factors at play, showing you historical context, and helping you develop your own intuition for timing. We're building investor confidence through knowledge, not dependency.
How We Work With Investors
Our process is straightforward. We assess your current situation, identify opportunities aligned with seasonal patterns, and help you build awareness that improves decision-making over time.
Initial Assessment
We start by reviewing your existing portfolio and understanding your timing concerns. Most investors have made decisions without considering seasonal factors—we identify where that might have cost you opportunity or increased risk unnecessarily.
Strategy Development
We create a seasonal awareness plan tailored to your investment goals. This includes identifying which months historically favor your holdings, when defensive positioning makes sense, and how to structure entry or exit timing around proven patterns.
Ongoing Education
Markets evolve, but patterns persist. We provide regular updates about seasonal shifts, explain what current market behavior means in historical context, and help you build the skills to recognize timing opportunities independently as you gain experience.
The People Behind the Patterns
Our team combines quantitative analysis expertise with practical investment experience
Torsten Bjorklund
Lead Market Analyst
Spent fifteen years studying cyclical patterns in equity markets before co-founding Domithen. His research on Canadian sector seasonality has informed our core methodology. When he's not analyzing data, he's probably hiking somewhere in the Rockies.
Callum Ostrander
Client Strategy Director
Works directly with investors to translate seasonal insights into actionable plans. Previously managed portfolios at a Calgary-based firm where he grew frustrated with generic timing advice. Now helps clients understand when patience matters and when action does.
