Our Philosophy

Investing can sometimes seem like a complex and daunting task, especially if you're not well-versed in the jargon and strategies of the financial world. Fortunately, we keep it simple and straightforward.

Fiduciary Responsibility

You deserve peace of mind, and that’s why we always put your interests first—never ours. It’s not just our promise; it’s our duty as fiduciaries.

Custodian Transparency

We don’t need direct access to your accounts to do our job. Our custodians, such as National Bank, hold your accounts so you remain safe, secure and always in control.

Stock vs. Product Ownership

As your portfolio grows, we help you look beyond mutual funds and ETFs, eliminate extra fees and explore the benefits of owning individual stocks.

Tax Optimization

As life changes, tax strategies become critical. We help you make every dollar count with plans that avoid unnecessary fees and costly tax penalties.

Certified Wealth Management

Our PMAC Certification (Portfolio Management Association of Canada ) showcases the highest level of education and experience in our field.

Policy Alignment

We use your personalized Investment Policy Statement to guide every decision we make, ensuring a comfortable approach to achieving your unique goals.

Serious Wealth vs. Risk Capital

The best of both worlds means trusting us to manage the majority of your net worth, while you dabble in the markets on a smaller scale, confidently.

Strategy as Your Compass

Achieving financial goals is like planning a road trip. You could wing it, but having a map and a plan ensures you get there quicker and get more out of it.

Common
Sense Investing

We never take our clients’ trust for granted.

We feel fortunate to be trusted as stewards of your wealth, and lean on four tried-and-true approaches to client services that ensure everyone remains comfortable, and confident.

Commitment

Our commitment to every client we serve is to craft custom tailored solutions that you understand and that remain laser focused on your goals, so you can trust us to secure your future.

Consideration

We take the time to truly understand you, your unique world and your future goals before providing a personalized roadmap that showcases our due diligence and strategic consideration.

Collaboration

As a family fiduciary, we collaborate with external partners to maximize all areas of your finances, and keep that same spirit of collaboration alive with our clients; ensure you always feel involved and informed.

Communication

We provide exemplary reporting to ensure you understand what you own, and how it works to achieve your goals. And we are always available to answer questions, offer support, and talk strategy.
