Process

A Focus on Clients

As an Investment Advisor with Canaccord Wealth Management, I am dedicated to develop deep trust with my clients through detailed consultation, appropriate investment ideas and value-added services.

My full-service approach involves more than providing investment products and services. Together, we will build a strong relationship allowing me to achieve your financial well-being.

I believe that it is as essential to manage cash flow, structure debt and reduce interest costs as it is to build a sound portfolio. My proactive process will help you reach your life goals and provide you with the detailed attention you need in order to achieve financial success and peace of mind.

My Personal Approach

Of course, you want healthy returns; yet, individuals and families today also need guidance, ideas and advice they can rely on. We will discuss what is important to you — whether it is retirement or estate planning, children’s education, debt, insurance*, or taxes. We will review your risk tolerance and preferences. I will then implement a plan to accomplish all aspects of your financial strategy, focusing on four areas:

• Identifying your needs, goals and key objectives
• Developing a detailed, customized plan
• Designing a portfolio and investment policy statement
• Conducting regular reviews to ensure we’re on track

Discovery

During our first meeting, we will discuss your current situation and your financial goals. You will gain a better understanding of how we work and the services we offer.

Present Our Findings and Options

At our second meeting, we will let you know what you are doing well and what you could be doing better. A number of options will be presented to you, and you will be able to choose the option that best fits your objective and risk tolerance.

Account Opening

Depending on your specific needs, account paperwork will then be drawn up for your signature. Once signed, transfer authorizations will be submitted for the assets from your current institution to be transferred in-kind. The fees paid to your current advisor will then be directed to me, as required, as future transactions take place on your account.

Wealth Plan

A complete plan will be prepared and reviewed with you. Depending on needs identified during the initial meeting, the plan will include investments, retirement needs, estate planning and tax planning, along with an action plan for you to follow. I will work with your professionals, such as your lawyer and accountant, to activate the plan. If you do not have a professional network, I can refer you to the appropriate professionals who will assist you.
