About Us
We believe that now, more than any other time, investing, saving and planning has become overly complicated. The massive amount of information and endless jargon we are exposed to these days can cause investors to feel anxious. This can result in procrastination or even avoidance of planning, setting goals and investing.
We focus on removing the complexity of investing from your plate to ours so that at some point you can slow down and enjoy the fruit of a lifetime of hard work. Our approach focuses on increasing the probability of our clients’ success in reaching their financial and dreams using three core strengths:
We employ a combination of active and passive investment management aimed at maximizing returns without undue risk of loss of capital. As well, we employ tactical shifts in response to longer term trends while being constantly aware of potentially negative tax implications with every decision. Although risk has many technical definitions, we see the biggest risk facing our clients’ is the possibility they will not reach their desired outcomes.
Our commitment to a strict investment discipline is the most effective counter-balance to investor behaviour tendencies which can derail long term plans. By using a strategic approach with rebalancing, when appropriate, we remain focused on their long term success, which helps keep our clients focused on the destination rather than the journey.
