Our process begins by taking a holistic approach to wealth management. Our financial advisors work to understand your goals and objectives before making any investment decisions. We construct a blueprint for your financial plan that becomes the foundation of the relationship with our advisors. The process consists of several steps resulting in a financial plan in harmony with asset allocation within your portfolio.

Private Client Services and Wealth Management

Our team specializes in the following wealth management and private client services:

Preserving Capital is just as important as the return on Capital. This is why we focus heavily on using all available investment tools at our disposal to ensure we effectively design a plan that fits your overall risk tolerance and matches your retirement income objectives.
Our fee-based model is priced competitively and addresses the need to align our interest with that of our clients. Quite simply, the commission-based structure of the past just isn’t good enough anymore. With our model, you pay one annual fee, based on the value of your portfolio and that is all. There are no additional administration fees, trading commissions or hidden charges.
Why do we offer this? It’s simple. If your portfolio value increases, then our fee amount increases too (since the fee is a fixed percentage). If your portfolio value declines, then our fee drops as well. So we have a vested interest in seeing your portfolio grow.

Benefits from this program include:

Regularly scheduled portfolio reviews.
Maximized yields on cash balances.
Annual trading summary and tax reporting.
Monthly summary of all portfolio activity.
One all-inclusive, tax-deductible fee, based on the market value of your portfolio.

Why do I need an Estate Plan?

If you are unsure as to why you really need an estate plan, then consider this:

If you die without an estate plan, the law will not assume you have made beneficiary choices, tax elections or financial planning decisions, no matter how advantageous they might be for you and your family or your business.
If you die without a plan, your surviving family members will be left to deal with your business as is and may not have the resources or experience to manage the financial decisions.

You don’t need a complex estate plan if you’re comfortable with how your property will be disposed of with a simpler plan or even by law, and the tax effects that go with it. First, however, make sure you fully understand who will receive your assets according to applicable laws.

Is an estate plan different for business owners? The simple answer is yes because it is more complicated.

Complicated tax issues.
More complex investment structures.
Issues relating to business succession.
Personal and business relationships.

Estate Planning is an ongoing process, over a long period of time, with many changes along the way. Inevitably, there will be issues that you haven’t resolved and questions you don’t have the answers to at this time. You shouldn’t let that stop you from beginning the planning process. It’s perfectly acceptable to have an estate plan in which some decisions are deferred to a later date. A partial plan is better than having no plan at all.

What is Estate Planning?

Estate Planning is the process of organizing a tax-efficient transfer of your assets to specific groups such as family or charities. In addition to determining who should receive your assets and when they should receive the proceeds of your estate (during your lifetime, at death. or long after death or never), estate planning does consider the following:

The financial and other needs of your surviving family members in the event of your death.
Your financial, contractual or moral obligations.
A plan for orderly business succession.
Tax minimization strategies.

Your estate plan does not stand alone. It should be integrated with your financial, retirement and business plans. For a complete plan, also consider the plans of family members and the co-owners of your business. If you own assets in more than one province or country, your estate plan will need to reflect the different law and layers of taxation that will apply.
