Why should I use an Investment Counsel/Portfolio Manager?
Looking after your own assets has never been simpleStaying on top of the big picture, macro-economic outlook can be daunting
New opportunities and investment avenues open up
Consistent, disciplined application of a well-defined investment philosophy and process achieves desired results when applied over the longer term
Information overload and prioritizing is critical
When managing your own assets, you may become emotional about particular holdings; this could cloud your judgment and result in a breakdown of discipline
You are ready to graduate from mutual funds to a customized solution
An investment counsel is a team of professionals whose only business is to manage portfolios and advise clients.
Our Fiduciary Duty
We have a fiduciary duty to act with care, honesty and good faith, to put our clients’ interests first. This is a higher hurdle than simply recommending products that are appropriate. To avoid conflict of interest, we are an independent business with no outside affiliations that could influence us.
As a member of the Portfolio Management Association of Canada (PMAC), every Investment Counsellor/Portfolio Manager must abide by the “Functions and Principles of the Profession of Investment Counsel” as adopted by PMAC.
Education and Experience
As investment counsellors registered with the provincial securities regulators, we must obtain the highest level of education and experience in the investment industry.
We are monitored to ensure any outside activities with which we may be involved, such as charities or community groups, do not conflict with our clients’ interests.
Transparent Compensation Structure
Our interests are aligned with our clients – when they succeed, we succeed.
Our compensation is not based on transactions in the portfolio; it comes only from investment management fees.
Full Service Investment Management
After preparing an Investment Policy Statement that is unique to you, your Investment Counsellor makes investment decisions on your behalf, so you don’t have to worry about the day-to-day management of your funds.
Clients’ assets are held in their own names at an independent third-party custodian to provide another layer of security.
