“To invest successfully over a lifetime does not require a stratospheric I.Q., unusual business insight, or inside information. What is needed is a sound intellectual framework for making decisions and the ability to keep emotions from corroding that framework.”
- Warren Buffet
In helping our clients manage their wealth, our team takes a personal approach to ensure that the strategies and recommendations we make are the right choice for each individual situation. We pay close attention to each of our clients’ objectives & guidelines and develop a detailed Investment Policy Statement for each family.
The focus of our practice is to help a smaller number of families to ensure that our focus remains on managing client portfolios and that we are keeping in touch with our clients on a regular basis - we currently manage portfolios for 90 families.
Our philosophy has been shaped over the past 15 years. We seek capital preservation first and then grow our client portfolios responsibly by investing in sound companies with a history of solid dividend payments.
We continue to believe that the money management business is about trust, integrity and personalized service. With Private Investment Management, you get a completely customized portfolio designed and built from the ground up based on factors such as growth requirements, income needs and risk tolerance. Because your approval is not required for every single transaction, we are able to take advantage of investment opportunities in a timely and efficient manner. We work within specific guidelines established in advance with you and we are accountable to these guidelines, which are regularly reviewed and adjusted according to your needs.
We take a holistic wealth management approach for our clients. We incorporate and optimize tax preferred investing with the use of Tax Free Savings Accounts and tax deferred plans, as well as, the use of tax preferred income such as preferred shares & high dividend paying common equities.
If you are visiting our site for the first time, we hope you find it useful. Should you require assistance or are looking for a second opinion on your investments, please call us - we are here to help.
