Be Independent
Only a small percentage of Canadian investment advisors are independent from big banks. We think this is important.
We stand out in a landscape where most wealth management is influenced by shareholder interests.
We are owner operators, not employees, and our compensation is directly tied to your results.
We bring you the best of what’s available instead of being limited or incentivized to sell one company’s products and services.
We have the freedom to refer you to our external network of professionals with a track record of providing sound advice.
Portfolio Manager vs. Investment Advisor
Why work with a Portfolio Manager instead of an Investment Advisor?

Our portfolios are deliberately diversified beyond traditional equities and fixed income to minimize the effects of volatility.
A Different Approach to Investment Management
Traditional investment portfolios consist of two asset classes: stocks (equities) and bonds (fixed-income).
In the past, stocks and bonds tended to move in opposite directions. We call this negative correlation. When stocks lost value, bonds typically gained in value, and vice versa; this helped offset losses and protect portfolios.
Increasingly we see stock and bond values move together. We call this positive correlation; which increases volatility and is ultimately bad for a portfolio. The traditional stock/bond portfolio no longer provides the safety and returns it did a generation ago.
