Clarke Inc. (OTCPK:CLKFF) is a small-cap investment vehicle, based in Nova Scotia. The company has largely taken stakes in small-cap private companies with a large-enough stake to have influence on management, either through their share presence or through positions on Board of Directors. The company has also ventured into other areas, owning private stakes in companies, as well as operating a small ferry service in Canada. The company has traditionally traded at a discount to its book value, as many conglomerates do, as a penalty for the ongoing costs of the business.
