As an Investment Advisor, I provide wealth management services to a select group of high net worth families, helping them manage wealth today and for future generations.
I work for my clients as I would for my own family and aim to build lasting, meaningful relationships based on trust, integrity and outstanding client service.
My business model consists of a disciplined investment management process and personalized service offering. At TD Wealth Private Investment Advice, we have in-depth experience in investment and wealth planning and we also bring in professionals with the expertise necessary to provide a holistic wealth management approach. This includes everything from a best in class financial plan, to investments and portfolio management, business succession planning, tax and estate strategies. My goal is to maximize wealth through patient, prudent, risk-aligned wealth planning and investing.
My process consists of 4 steps, always striving to deliver an excellent client experience:
- I take the time to clearly understand your background, philosophy, needs and objectives.
- I work with you to design and implement an investment plan that prioritizes your goals and shows you the steps you need to take.
- I create your personalized investment portfolio, using an easy to understand process, that helps meet your income and growth needs.
- I regularly review and monitor your progress and keep you up to date.
