When we asked a few of our clients what they think of our services and overall satisfaction level they mentioned the following:
"Over the past 25 years I have worked collaboratively with Derek Avey in establishing a sound investment portfolio which has performed well, even during challenging times.
Among his many strengths was/is his ability to clearly communicate and guide me to be a little more conservative in my investment strategy. This proved to be sound advice. I have achieved well above average returns with a modest degree of defensive protection against negative market swings.
As I head into retirement, I will continue to utilize Derek's expertise in providing a strategy for maintaining principal and providing a predictable income.
Thank you, Derek for many years of commitment, and for educating me along the way!"
