Investment Planning

Focus on your assets and how best to manage them according to your investment risk tolerance and objectives.

Insurance and Risk Management

We focus on strategies designed to manage your exposure to unexpected financial loss due to death, disability, health issues and other risks.

Tax Planning

We focus on your current and future income tax obligations and the use of available strategies to minimize or defer taxation. Tax planning strategies are designed to help strengthen your financial position, allowing you a better opportunity to meet your financial goals. To ensure you and your family are managing taxes effectively, we look at such tax-deferral vehicles as Registered Retired Savings Plans (RRSPs), Registered Education Savings Plans (RESP), Tax-Free Savings Accounts (TFSAs) to maximize tax-free investment growth, life insurance and annuities, income-splitting through family trusts, prescribed rate loans, and spousal RRSPs.

Retirement Planning

We focus on your financial well-being after regular employment has stopped. It involves a comparison of the client’s expected lifestyle in retirement to projected retirement income streams and assets. Retirement savings must be regularly monitored, as circumstances change over time.
