Testimonials

“David has advised us for several years now and we’ve been absolutely happy with him. At the start of our relationship, he helped us get our affairs in order. It was very full-service: he had us complete our wills and powers of attorney, reviewed our insurance coverage, and had us track our monthly expenses so we had a better understanding of our cash flow. David keeps copies of all our documents and policies, so if we are ever unable to act for ourselves, our executor will have everything needed in one place. He also referred us to our accountant, and the two work together as required to manage our affairs.”

“Bottom line: we are confident that we are ready for full retirement when the time comes.”

“We’ve had great returns on our investments and appreciate David’s long-term, quality-focused approach. He is steady, responsive, and adjusts our strategy as our life circumstances evolve. We do one major annual review along with quarterly check-ins, and he gets back to us quickly with answers and research when needed.”

“We also appreciate David’s approachable manner. He makes financial conversations easy, even when the topics are difficult, and his team and systems make paperwork and access simple.”

“We were referred to David by my nephew, who had been looking after my investments at BMO and was leaving the business. Without a doubt, David is a true professional: knowledgeable, intelligent, and someone who conducts business with integrity and honesty. Most importantly, he puts our interests first. We don’t lose sleep worrying about our investments or day-to-day market fluctuations because we trust him completely.”

“David puts our interests first. As a result, we don’t lose sleep worrying about our investments and day-to-day stock market fluctuations.”

“Over the years, David has done an excellent job with our portfolio and helped us prepare thoroughly for retirement. He worked with BMO specialists to ensure all angles were covered and helped us transition smoothly from earning income to drawing from our assets in retirement.”

“David is approachable, modest, and easy to talk to. He’s serious and confident about his work, but also warm and personable. We have absolutely no reservation in recommending him.”

“We had previous experiences with investment advisors where we felt our accounts were treated more like trading accounts for their benefit than true investment accounts for ours. When David was first assigned to me, he gave me immediate confidence in how he would approach things, and my wife soon moved her accounts to him as well.”

“We trusted what David was recommending in setting up a long-term financial plan to meet our long-term needs. He delivered on that plan and updates it regularly.”

“David built a long-term financial plan tailored to our needs and has continued to update it over time. When markets are uncertain, he reaches out proactively to discuss our portfolio and any changes or opportunities worth considering. That steady communication has created a strong sense of trust.”

“He also encouraged us to update our wills and powers of attorney and helped us think ahead around large purchases and estate matters. On top of his technical expertise, we find David personable, non-aggressive, and very honest to deal with.”

“David Wright has been my financial advisor for over 10 years, and I can’t imagine working with anyone else. He is professional, knowledgeable, responsive, and has a very strong service ethic. Over the years, he has provided solid advice that has helped me meet my long-term financial goals.”

“My portfolio has more than doubled in the 10-plus years I have been with him, and the level of volatility I have experienced has been less than what I have seen overall in the markets.”

“As my career changed, Dave adjusted my portfolio so that my assets were non-correlated to my business, reducing my overall risk exposure. He has also helped me well beyond investing — including life and disability insurance, and ensuring our wills and powers of attorney were up to date as my family situation evolved.”

“I prefer a hands-off approach, and Dave is ideal for that. We speak at least quarterly, and I know he is always available and highly responsive when I need him. I trust him completely and value the advice he has given my family and me over the years.”

“We hadn’t been happy with our previous financial advisors. They did not really understand our goals or tailor their services to our needs. They focused on growing our portfolio, but did not provide the broader advice we were looking for around how to structure our life and finances.”

“After interviewing four advisors, David stood out immediately. He was personable, thoughtful, well prepared, and showed real attention to detail from the start. He took the time to get to know us and came forward with knowledge, strategies, and meaningful engagement, which made the decision to work with him very easy.”

“David approaches things very holistically — even though we have different pots of money, it is all one household — and he takes a very high-level approach.”

“David oversees all of our personal finances and our corporate investments, and he was instrumental in finally helping us get our wills completed. He acted like an excellent project manager, liaising with our lawyer and accountant and following through until every detail was done.”

“He is clear, detail-oriented, hands-on, and easy to work with. We give David five stars and highly recommend him.”

“We had a fairly passive relationship with our previous wealth manager, and I did not feel I was getting the attention I deserved. When I met David and learned more about the benefits of working closely with an advisor, I quickly realized that was what I had been looking for.”

“With David, you get a big-picture manager: someone disciplined, thoughtful, and a very good sounding board.”

“Three things stand out about David. First, he is a big-picture, long-term thinker. Second, he is highly organized and disciplined. Third, he is balanced — not overly aggressive, but a strong sounding board when it comes to risk and decision-making.”

“David makes sure the things that need to get done actually happen and stay on track. He is also strong on the relationship side: he takes the time to connect, ask about family, and understand what is happening in our lives.”

C.G., CEO and apparel executive. Client since 2016.

“With my previous advisor, I just was not feeling the love. The relationship was not convenient, and I did not feel the same level of support or connection. From the first time I met David, he was personable and easy to talk to. He asked all the right questions and understood the circumstances I was navigating.”

“As I was preparing for retirement, David created a timeline and a clear financial roadmap so I could understand what I needed to worry about and what I did not. That gave me real peace of mind.”

“After my husband passed away, I was managing a business account, my mother’s accounts, and my own finances. David helped me stay organized, keep course, and make sure nothing fell through the cracks. He knows when to ask questions, when to give space, and how to keep important matters moving.”

“He is always looking out for tax savings opportunities, sending reminders, and helping me plan around major family milestones. There is real comfort in working with him, and I would recommend him to anybody.”

D.F., Former educator, recently retired. Client since 2017.

“David’s most important characteristic is that he always follows through. When he commits to doing something, he delivers. That builds confidence and trust right away.”

“There are all the tangible elements in any advisor relationship. But beyond that, there has to be knowledge and trust, and David provides both.”

“He is genuinely interested in his clients and is happy to provide as much detail as you want, whether you prefer a high-level overview or a deeper discussion. He explains both the upsides and the downsides of different approaches and makes sure you understand them.”

“That allows me to feel comfortable not monitoring my portfolio constantly, because I know David is acting on my behalf. I also have real confidence that when the time comes, he will work capably with the executor of my estate. There is a great deal of comfort in that.”

C.M., Former executive, recently retired. Client since 2016.

“With the person I worked with before David, I felt like I was too small a fry. My first impression of David was that he knew his stuff. He was personable, easy to talk to, and did not come across as overly immersed in Bay Street culture.”

“As an independent, self-employed freelance artist with no predictable income, I have had to be very careful financially. I wanted to make sure I could provide for my future and leave something to my daughter.”

“David presented tools that showed me graphically what the future could look like, how the money would work, what the risks and downsides were, and how much flexibility I would have. Having that laid out visually was very helpful and put my mind at ease.”

“He is relaxed, personable, and explains things in a way I understand. With David, you get professional advice from someone who is likable, clear, and easy to talk to.”

B.S., Filmmaker. Client since 2017.

“I had a bad experience with a previous financial advisor. The service and thoughtfulness were not there, and I did not feel any real connection with that person. It felt like I was inconveniencing them whenever I needed something.”

“A friend recommended David, and the difference was immediate. He took the time to get to know me, my family, my children, and what we wanted to accomplish. He was proactive, set up regular meetings, and built trust by making the relationship personal and thoughtful.”

“David has helped us put together a very strong financial plan, and that has given us exactly what we wanted: peace of mind.”

“David is knowledgeable, pragmatic, and easy to talk to. I am not trying to beat the market — I want a sound long-term plan, and he has helped make sure my money is positioned properly for retirement over the next five to 10 years. That has given us a great deal of confidence.”

J.M., President in consumer goods. Client since 2018.

“I recognize my own limitations in the wealth management space. I know how complicated it can be, and I wanted someone I trusted to look holistically at the full picture and guide my long-term planning.”

“When I was preparing to buy my first house, I wanted an advisor who could tell me what I did not know and what I needed to think about. I already knew David was personable, smart, and building a strong practice, so once I decided I needed an advisor, I went to him and have never looked back.”

“He makes difficult conversations easy to have. I always feel I am in extremely capable hands.”

“David makes it easy to share private financial information, and his follow-up is always timely and thorough. I never feel there is a detail missed or a loose end left hanging. He is also highly knowledgeable on portfolio construction and always makes sure my investments align with my short- and long-term goals.”

“I trust him so fully that I barely look at my statements anymore. I have recommended him to family, including my mother, and would do so again without hesitation.”
