two men shaking hands among a group of people

Guiding you through all types of market conditions

Through 25 years of experience, we have developed a proven process that has been successful for a wide variety of clients - through bear and bull market conditions - and everything in between.

 

To kick off our client process, we have an introductory conversation to get to know each other a bit better.

Questions we discuss are:

  • What are your investment goals? Expectations?

  • What has been your saving and investment experience, up to this point?

  • Have you worked with a financial advisor before? What went well, what didn’t?

  • What kind of financial decisions are you considering? Tax sheltering? Coordination of benefits? Debt analysis? Business succession?

 

Once we mutually decide we’re a fit to work together, the formal part of our process begins.
