Lineup đź‘€ CEM Whistler 2026

With risk appetite returning unevenly across sectors, the 2026 CEM Whistler Capital Event is shaping up as a timely checkpoint for investors and issuers focused on execution, capital discipline, and where opportunity is quietly rebuilding.

Selectivity Replaces Speculation as CEM Heads Back to Whistler

January delivered a sharp reminder of how fast sentiment can turn. Speculative money rushed back into pockets of the market, driving outsized moves in small caps and crypto, while broader equities lagged. That surge did not last. Higher margin requirements, a stronger U.S. dollar, and rising policy uncertainty triggered a rapid shakeout that cleared excess leverage and reset expectations.

“With 2025 showing healthy, consistent charts for both gold and silver, we entered 2026 with historic moves and volatility,” said Ryan Iverson, Portfolio Manager at CEM Partner's Fund.

“However, a potential hawkish shift in monetary policy, Trump’s nomination of Kevin Warsh as the next Federal Reserve chair, a stronger U.S. dollar, and structural changes around margin requirements combined to trigger a sharp selloff. That said, the themes that carried gold and silver through 2025 remain intact. Frothy speculative money is simply being shaken out.”

"As commodity prices normalize and confidence begins to rebuild, selectivity has replaced speculation," said Iverson. That shift sits at the core of the 16th Annual Whistler Capital Event this weekend, which has attracted 60 companies and scores of investors.

Companies attending represent a broad cross-section of sectors including precious and base metals, uranium and lithium exploration, oil and gas, energy technology, agriculture, biotechnology, medical technology, ad tech, and blockchain infrastructure.

The average market capitalization of the attending companies is $126 million, with a combined total market value of roughly $12 billion.
