Becoming A Client

The relationship we have with our clients is the cornerstone of the service we provide. For this reason, we believe that it is important to ensure we are a good fit for each other. We recommend that you meet with one of our financial advisors in person to discuss your goals and preferences. We follow a formal process when interviewing new clients, which begins with documenting goals and investment preferences.

The first meeting tends to take about an hour. Following the initial interview and a thorough analysis of your existing portfolio, present situation, past experience and future goals; a customized solution for your investment needs can be discussed. Only after we have had a chance to discuss our recommendations with you will we open your account.

We recommend that you bring your most recent statements of investments you hold at other dealers or institutions when coming in to meet with an advisor. This will help us to ensure that we have a full understanding of your present financial situation and investment needs. A copy of your statement is also required should you decide to transfer any of your existing investments to our firm.

You will also need to bring with you a copy of your driver’s license, your social insurance number, your employment information, and your banking information.
