Top things to consider when reviewing your portfolio.
Global Representation
Most Canadians are over invested in Canada.
Though Canada only accounts for 3% of global investable equities. Which means people are missing out on 97% of all other investment opportunities. As the average Canadian has 92% of their assets tied to Canada; that's a major concentration risk.
Expectations vs. Structure
Does your portfolio structure reflect your expectations?
Most portfolios do not reflect investor expectations. People usually have extremely conservative portfolios, yet complain about low returns. We start with understanding the client's financial capacity for risk and build from there.
Under-Diversified or Over-Diversified
Do you have too many bank and railway stocks?.
Another common point of investment risk is when portfolios are under-diversified; for example, owning too many bank stocks or utility companies. Conversely, owning too much of everything (being overdiversified) introduces return risk and benchmark underperformance.
Fee
Transparency
Understand the costs and know what you're paying for.
Many investors are unaware of implicit and external costs associated with their accounts. Fees are something we carefully review with clients.
Tax Smart Investments
How is your advisor thinking about taxes when investing?
When you're in a higher income tax bracket, the type of investment and where you own it can have a significant impact on your after-tax returns.
Maximize Your Portfolio
A successful asset allocation strategy takes into account time horizons, cash flow, risk tolerance, return expectations, along with external factors like ever-changing markets. With extensive research across investment managers, mutual funds, and investment vehicles, we can provide insights and recommendations for both standard and advanced opportunities.

The success of your financial future is too important to be left to chance. We'll proactively adjust how your assets are allocated to account for changing market conditions, contributions, and other factors. We monitor your accounts to make sure your portfolio stays aligned to your goals and objectives. We also monitor your investment performance to see how we can improve results overtime.
