Tax-efficient investing & wealth planning

For many of our clients, tax is their biggest annual expense. If you want to increase the rate at which your wealth compounds and have more money in retirement, you need to address the issue of tax in your wealth plan and investment portfolio.

We can advise you on various types of tax-planning strategies for individuals and corporations, such as:

1. Accumulation strategies to help compound your wealth faster pre-retirement.
2. Decumulation strategies to help increase your after-tax cash flow in retirement.
3. Preservation strategies to help protect your wealth from unnecessary taxation.
4. Distribution strategies to help transfer more of your wealth to your heirs.

Personalized goals-based planning

A goals-based planning approach best captures the reality of our client’s financial picture.  Our goals-based planning process will help to identify, prioritize and future-pace your financial goals. Whether your saving for retirement, selling a business, funding retirement or building a legacy for your family, our planning process will help you to simplify, organize and stay on track to your goals. 

"Generational wealth planning is the goal for many of our clients."

Pension model investing

If our client portfolios look different from the average portfolio, it’s not by accident. Like many institutional investors, we believe a diversified, risk-conscious portfolio model offers the best balance of risk and return for most investors.

Primary benefits of a pension model portfolio

1. The potential for better more consistent returns.
2. The possibility of enhanced diversification.
3. The potential for less risk and volatility.
4. The possibility of more income and security during retirement.

Proactive risk management

We believe risk-management is critical for success and a goal for many of our clients. We work to help our clients protect themselves, their family and their wealth from a variety of different types of risk that could threaten their present and long-term goals, such as:

• Market Risk
• Health Risk
• Income Risk
• Event Risk
• Longevity Risk
• Tax & Policy Risk

"The optimal portfolio is not always the highest returning portfolio. It's the one that gets you to your goals, and the one you can live with in difficult markets."

Going beyond the financial picture

Getting to know what truly matters to you is our top priority. Applying principles of behavioural finance allows me to dig deeper and understand your personality, your goals, your family, and your motivations.
