Make your money work on your terms

Information icon Evolve your portfolio

Flexible

Enjoy the flexibility to hold many types of investments in your account, including individual stocks, bonds, exchange traded funds, or mutual funds – strategically overseen to help manage the impact of market volatility.

If there is a particular industry or security you don’t want in your portfolio, then you can rest assured it won’t be there.

Individualized

Our individualized approach means we may be able to use tax-management strategies to reduce the taxes payable on investment earnings.

It also means that the performance figures you see on your statement represent your personal rate of return – and yours alone.

Monitored and Rebalanced

To ensure that your personalized portfolio remains true to your objectives, it is monitored and rebalanced to maintain its optimized asset allocation.

This way, you can feel confident you have the investments that are right for you, regardless of market fluctuations.

How We Work with You

Your portfolio is as unique as you are. That's why it all starts with - and comes back to - you.

 
Current State Analysis

Current State Analysis

We begin with a thorough analysis of your current investment position. Through one-on-one conversations with you, we take the time to get to know you, your investment goals, time horizon, risk tolerance, personal preferences, income requirements and performance expectations. This gives us the foundation we need to begin personalizing a portfolio recommendation for you.

Sample Portfolios

What does an individualized, optimized portfolio look like?

Ruth: "I need my portfolio to support me in the lifestyle I know."

At 76, Ruth has long retired from the workforce, but she remains active in her community and with her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. A widow for some years, she enjoys a lifestyle that's comfortable, but not extravagant, and wants to preserve her wealth for her family.

Primary Goal: Capital preservation

Most of Ruth's portfolio is dedicated to secure fixed income investments to preserve her wealth. For some diversification, her portfolio also includes exposure to multi-strategy alternative investments, North American and global dividends.
 

John: "I'm not about to take unnecessary risks with my money, but I do want to make the most of the opportunities out there."

John has started to cut back on his hours at work so he can spend more time with his wife. He’s looking forward to retiring completely within the next seven to 10 years. However, “retirement” for John means being more active than ever - travelling, dining out, golfing and enjoying the good life that he’s earned.

Primary Goal: Income and growth

Because John relies on his portfolio for some cash flow, it has a healthy allocation to fixed income. On the growth side, his portfolio is diversified geographically and by investment style to help protect him from market declines in any given area.

 

Karen: “I want my money to work as hard for me as I work to earn it. And that’s pretty hard.”

Karen, 50, has finally made partner and got the corner office she’s wanted for years. She knows that these are her peak earning years, and she wants to make the most of them. She wants to see just how far she can push her portfolio over the next 15 to 20 years.

Primary Goal: Growth

Karen’s portfolio contains a mix of investments with high growth potential. Diversification by geography and investment style helps to protect her from the effect of downturns in any one area. For stability, her portfolio also includes an allocation to fixed income and multi-strategy alternative investments, which add further diversification and offer additional sources of return.
