Lorraine Mah, Investment Advisor,Edmonton, AB

We believe in and embrace three fundamental principles: investment management, wealth management, and behavioural finance.

1. Rational

An ability to focus – with an exceptional degree of clarity and concentration – on the financial goals of our clients is fundamental to the growth of our practice. We live in a world of distraction and noise, particularly financial media noise. Staying calm, maintaining composure, remaining objective – thinking rationally, in other words – is the defining characteristic of successful long term wealth management.

2. Rigorous

Investment and wealth management is about being systematic. It’s a disciplined, step-by-step process geared to deliver sustained results. There are no shortcuts. And since portfolio performance is only a part of the total wealth building picture, we take care to create interlocking strategies – including wealth planning, tax minimization and much more – designed to help maximize and retain your gains.

3. Responsive

People like to work with people they like. As a result, getting to know our clients extends well beyond the bottom line. We build relationships from the ground up so that the foundation is secure and – above all – long term. Behavioural finance is about self-knowledge. Investors are prone to biases, some more dangerous than others. Recognizing and eliminating those biases is one of our most important tasks.

4. Results-Driven

Understanding your financial goals is our first priority. Building a plan to help you reach them comes next. There are no certitudes in investment management. The playing field shifts, day-by-day. Based on the consistent application of proven financial and investment management principles, we will do everything in our power to enable you to preserve, protect and build wealth.

Our clients include individuals and families, executives and professionals, business owners and entrepreneurs, pre-retirees and retirees, charitable organizations, and estates and trusts.

While each client has unique needs, a common thread is their desire to collaborate with someone who can align their financial strategy to the goals and dreams they have for the future.

Guides, advisors and financial confidantes – while we look after families in all life stages we specialize in extended family and intergenerational planning.

The financial challenges associated with helping our clients transition from work to retirement is also a particular focus of our practice.

We adhere to the principle of total wealth management. Though vitally important, investment planning and portfolio building represent only a part of the financial experience we provide for our clients.

Behavioural Finance

Successful investing is not about exceptional intelligence. It’s about temperament. As students of behavioural finance, we are skilled at enabling our clients to resist making emotional investment decisions that undermine their financial interests.

Behavioural finance deals with pervasive, deeply rooted biases that influence decision-making. Left unrecognized, such biases can have devastating negative consequences for long-term wealth accumulation. It follows that how we work depends upon our understanding of you.

Collaborative and personal, our proven process encompasses a series of systematic steps leading to a completely customized strategy for every client we advise.

Discovery & Planning

We develop a profound understanding of your overall personal, professional and wealth building goals. Forensic and exhaustive, our approach is designed to present you with strategies and solutions that align with your unique goals.

Proposal & Performance

We construct a long-term investment and wealth plan consistent with your goals, risk tolerance and time horizon. It's discussed with and approved by you. Once implemented, is monitored carefully, reviewed regularly, and rebalanced as necessary.

Reporting & Review

You will receive regular portfolio review statements, transaction updates and tax reports. These are supplemented by portfolio review meetings and timely discussions designed to keep your investment strategy on track.
