Evidence-Based Investment Philosophy

After working with over 300 Canadian families since 2018, we've developed a methodology that balances growth potential with risk management. Our approach isn't about chasing market trends or promising overnight success.

Instead, we focus on building portfolios that can weather different market conditions while staying aligned with your specific financial timeline and comfort level.

Diversified Foundations

Spreading investments across asset classes and geographic regions to reduce portfolio volatility.

Tax Efficiency

Maximizing after-tax returns through strategic use of RRSPs, TFSAs, and other Canadian tax advantages.

Cost Management

Keeping investment fees low to preserve more of your returns over the long term.

Regular Reviews

Quarterly check-ins to ensure your portfolio stays on track with changing life circumstances.

Our Six-Step Process

Each client journey follows this structured approach, though we customize the timeline and specifics based on your unique situation.

1

Discovery Session

We spend 90 minutes understanding your financial situation, goals, and concerns. This includes reviewing current investments, discussing risk tolerance, and identifying any gaps in your financial plan.

2

Portfolio Analysis

Our team conducts a comprehensive review of your existing investments, analyzing costs, diversification, and alignment with your objectives. We identify opportunities for improvement.

3

Strategy Development

Based on our analysis, we create a customized investment strategy that considers your timeline, risk tolerance, tax situation, and specific goals like retirement or education funding.

4

Implementation

We help you implement the new strategy, which might include rebalancing existing investments, opening new accounts, or adjusting contribution amounts to registered accounts.

5

Monitoring

Your portfolio is monitored continuously, with formal reviews every quarter. We track performance, assess market conditions, and make adjustments when necessary.

6

Ongoing Support

As your life changes, we adjust the strategy accordingly. Whether you're approaching retirement, changing careers, or facing unexpected expenses, we adapt your investment approach.

Research-Driven Decisions

Our investment decisions are backed by thorough market research and economic analysis. We don't rely on hunches or hot tips.

Independent Analysis

We conduct our own research rather than relying solely on third-party recommendations, giving you unbiased investment advice.

"I spend hours each week analyzing market trends and economic indicators. The goal isn't to predict the future perfectly, but to position portfolios for various scenarios."

Track Record and Transparency

Since establishing our methodology in 2019, we've helped clients navigate various market conditions. While past performance doesn't guarantee future results, our disciplined approach has shown consistency.

We believe in complete transparency about costs, performance, and risks. Every client receives detailed quarterly reports showing exactly how their investments are performing and why we made specific decisions.
