Access to professional and expert investment advice

Why deal with us?

Knowledge and Expertise

We have provided professional money management for clients through a wide range of market conditions. This track record of experience continues to inform our prudent approach and long-term perspective.

Independent Thinking 

Our clients prefer to deal with an independent local firm that is more entrepreneurial, and they recognize the added quality and knowledge that a specialized firm can offer.

Personalized Investing

We offer separately managed portfolios that allow for greater customization as securities are held directly in your name and not pooled with other clients. For example, we can harvest taxable gains when needed, and we can better tailor holdings to your personal needs and circumstances. 

Strong Relationships

Investors who seek a portfolio manager to help make investment decisions on their behalf will enjoy our service. As we have a fiduciary duty to act in our client’s best interest, trust and professionalism are our core values.  

What makes us different? 

  • We are active portfolio managers who focus on achieving absolute rates of return instead of relative returns to a stock market index. This approach helps us provide consistent risk-adjusted returns for our clients.
  • You will have a direct relationship with the portfolio managers, the primary investment decision-makers who will keep you up-to-date and informed. 
  • Unlike many national asset managers, the interests of our clients and the managing partners are better aligned. As an independent firm, we invest our money in the portfolios we manage and provide private capital.  
  • Our size allows us to stay nimble, quickly take advantage of opportunities as they arise, and provide a very attentive and responsive client service level.

What is the boutique advantage?

While large financial institutions, such as banks and life insurance companies, continue to dominate the Canadian investment landscape, there is growing momentum for a different investment experience. Enter the boutique firm concept- a growing, thriving independent business model that provides personal contact, local connection, and a client-centred investment focus. Many investors appreciate a boutique firm’s specialized knowledge, personalized service, and entrepreneurial approach. These factors contribute to a positive client experience and lead to long-lasting relationships.
