Branch Manager & Investment Advisor  LL.B. CIM

I offer a broad range of financial services for registered and non-registered investment accounts together with advice for those clients interested in obtaining a financial plan.  These services include:

• RRSP's, RRIF's and cash accounts
• Stocks, Bonds, Mutual Funds and Options Trades
• Discretionary, Segregated Managed Accounts
• Insurance & Estate Planning

I manage both corporate and personal investment accounts and am licensed to do so in various provinces including BC, Alberta, Manitoba and Ontario. Initial meetings with a prospective client will include a review of the existing investment strategy as well as a discussion of the client's financial needs, investment objectives, risk tolerances and investment time horizon. This ensures an investment strategy that fits the client's profile.

Following such an assessment, the client will receive a written proposal (without any obligation) describing my suggested investment asset mix together with specific security recommendations. This may result in a non-discretionary portfolio customized to fit the client's particular situation, a segregated, managed asset investment program or a combination of both.

All clients will receive a portfolio review of their investment accounts at least annually, depending on the nature and size of the accounts.

The "cost of investing" is also something that cannot be ignored. Therefore, all clients are offered the ability to manage their investment accounts in either a traditional, transaction fee environment or as a fee-based account whereby the client's fee is calculated as a percentage of the account value with no additional transaction fees.

I am also fortunate to be assisted by Susanne Von Heyking, my administrative assistant. Susanne's administrative and client service abilities are second to none.

I was born and raised in Winnipeg, MB. and am a graduate of the University of Western Ontario (B.A. Economics) and obtained my Law Degree from the University of Toronto. I have over 10 years of financial services and securities industry experience gained in my capacity as a securities lawyer and, for the past 8 years, as an Investment Advisor. I am licensed to trade in options and obtained my Canadian Investment Manager (CIM) designation in 2003.
