WHAT SETS US APART?
​
Historically, Canadians have had access to high-quality and personalized financial advice, usually through a bank or an independent investment dealer. Both of these business models rely on selling the customer financial products. Under this model, the advisor is generally a salesperson and may not always provide unbiased advice.
Our model is to offer unbiased, independent, objective advice. Fee structures were designed that are unlike the traditional referral fees/sales fees/trailing commissions that can bring a bias to an investor's advice.
​
WHAT WE DO
​
We offer sound advice on how to lower fees, pay down debt and save to reach your short and long term goals.
​
We want to help you so you are not intimidated in dealing with banks' sales people and how to open a discount brokerage account.
​
We do not accept referral fees or commission from third parties.
