Who are we?

We are a close-knit team who proudly serves the Bruce County and surrounding area from our "one-stop money management shop" located in beautiful Kincardine.  As independent advisors, we have access to a wider, more attractive variety of investment products.  This means we can offer investment products with our clients' best interests in mind.  As well, two of our advisors have their CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER (CFP®) designation; the remaining two are working on getting it.  This is considered the "gold standard" in the financial planning industry, which we strive to meet.

In short, we specialize in professional financial planning and wealth management and have done so for over 30 years.

Products We Offer

Tax-Free Savings Account

A TFSA is an account that does not apply taxes on any contributions, interest earned, dividends, or capital gains, and can be withdrawn tax free.  This savings account is available to individuals aged 18 and older in Canada and can be used for any purpose.

Registered Retirement Savings Plan

An RRSP is a retirement savings and investing vehicle for employees and the self-employed in Canada. Pre-tax money is placed into an RRSP and grows tax free until withdrawal, at which time it is taxed at the marginal rate.

Spousal Registered Retirement Savings Plan

A spousal RRSP is the same as an RRSP except all contributions are made to a spouse's account.  This can be helpful at tax time to stay in a lower tax bracket when one partner makes more income than the other.

Registered Retirement Income Fund

A RRIF is a retirement fund similar to an annuity contract that pays out income to a beneficiary or a number of beneficiaries.  To fund their retirement, RRSP holders often roll over their RRSP's into a RRIF.

Registered Education Savings Plan

Sponsored by the Canadian government, these plans encourage parents to invest in a child's future post-secondary education.  Subscribers to an RESP make contributions that build up tax-free earnings.  The government contributes a certain amount to these plans for children under age 18.

"In Trust For" Accounts

Use this account if you wish to begin investment activity on behalf of someone 17-years-old or younger.

Non-Registered Accounts

This is a general investment account that is flexible, offers tax benefits and has no contribution limit.

Corporate Accounts

This is an investment account that gives your business access to mutual funds, segregated funds and GIC's.

Mutual Funds

These funds are funded by shareholders.  They trade in diversified holdings and are professionally managed.

Segregated Funds

These funds are used by Canadian insurance companies to manage individual, variable annuity insurance products.  A segregated fund offers investment capital appreciation and life insurance benefits.

GIC's

GIC's are deposit investment securities that Canadian banks and trust companies sell.  Individuals and investors often purchase these for retirement plans because they provide a low-risk fixed rate of return.
