Investment Philosophy
A financial plan should be the driving force behind every decision made in regards to managing your wealth. Everyone is different, with both individual goals and life expectations, and this requires detailed analysis and extensive planning to ensure the right investment strategy is chosen. I firmly believe that my clients' interests are best served by taking a fully-diversified portfolio approach to investing. I work closely with my clients to formulate customized investment strategies designed to improve investment returns, while keeping risk at acceptable levels. Whether a client is conservative and income-oriented, or looking for growth, I design an investment strategy that best suits their needs.

Asset Mix Management
A key determinant to successful investing is to own a mix of assets likely to generate the returns you need while minimizing your exposure to risk. Using recommendations from BMO Nesbitt Burns Research Department, I work closely with my clients to determine the appropriate mix for them, and then monitor their situation to ensure it remains appropriate.

The Importance of a Sound Investing Partnership
Many financial issues affect us all: saving for retirement, minimizing taxes, setting aside funds for a major purchase or financing a child's education. To reach your own financial objectives, you need to consider the challenges of building and preserving capital in today's increasingly complex marketplace. I am able to draw upon resources from BMO Nesbitt Burns and Bank of Montreal to offer a full range of financial services to my clients.

Service Excellence
I am committed to building a solid, lasting relationship with all my clients. Keeping clients informed is a top priority for me, and this means providing access to a wealth of educational materials, promptly returning phone calls, and quickly following up on administrative issues.

It also involves monitoring accounts on an ongoing basis to take advantage of opportunities and changing market conditions as they arise. I regularly review goals, strategy and portfolio performance with my clients.
