Investment philosophy

After three decades in the industry, Jason has developed a simplified investment philosophy that acts as the foundation of the advice we provide to our clients. They are the key things he wants his own three kids to know when they are old enough to understand their true implications.

As a trusted advisor for over 30 years, I’ve gained a unique perspective that I can share with my clients.

Owning good quality businesses is the best way to grow and protect your wealth

Investors should generally be owners of businesses (stocks) rather than a loaner (bonds), as stock returns have historically produced three times the return.

The stock market is volatile, untamable, and unpredictable

The stock market has gone up and down at different times for different reasons, and keeping this top of mind is key to your success as an investor.

You cannot time the stock market

Trying to time the markets on a consistent basis is nearly impossible, and any accidental success can quickly lead to an inflated ego and deflated rates of return.

Security selection doesn’t really matter, but portfolio diversification does

The investor who diversifies their portfolio and stays invested through periods of turmoil outperforms the best stock picker who tries to buy and sell at the right time.

Taxes kill wealth, but tax minimization strategies can help

Advanced tax planning strategies and a yearly review of your notice of assessment can help to minimize your tax burden efficiently and effectively.

Expertise matters

Jason has spent nearly three decades at RBC Dominion Securities helping clients navigate through some of the most challenging market conditions in recent memory.

Communication is key

We provide our clients regular updates on how their money has performed over time through a comprehensive and consolidated report of investments.

Wealth management goes above and beyond investment planning

We take a comprehensive view of our clients’ wealth by incorporating advanced Will, estate, financial, insurance, and tax strategies to help build and protect your wealth.

No investments without a financial plan

We start our relationship with a financial plan that acts as the blueprint to your goals, updating it at every review meeting as your needs change and evolve.

Education is a difference maker for clients and advisors

We are relentless in educating our clients and improving their financial literacy, while also continuously seeking opportunities to strengthen our own industry knowledge.
