Our vision
Our wealth management approach is based on three pillars: Empower, Re-imagine and Simplify.
E.R.S Approach
Empower: Our goal is to provide insight and a wealth of financial education and resources to help
our clients have a sense of confidence, freedom and peace of mind.
Re-imagine: We design client focused and goal based strategies as a blueprint for the big picture, differentiated by our commitment to transparency, collaboration and excellence.
Simplify: We look after your wealth goals and vision while helping bring simplicity and clarity
to important life moments, evolving needs and transitions.
Our Process
Step 1: Get to know your unique needs, goals and values
We recognize no two clients are alike and our process begins by understanding your unique goals, values and distinct aspirations to meet your investment goals. In our first conversation, we’ll gather important information that includes your financial situation, investment goals and unique needs, risk tolerance and time horizon to help us prioritize what matters to you.
Step 2: Design an investment approach
With a clear understanding of your unique needs, we’ll create an investment strategy tailored to to meet those needs. We offer a complimentary financial plan that establishes foundation of our relationship and importantly a guiding principle for areas we should tackle such as cashflow management, education planning, retirement planning, investment planning, risk management and insurance planning, tax planning, estate planning and business succession planning (for business owners).
Step 3: Tailor your investment portfolio
At CIBC Wood Gundy, we have autonomy and therefore understand and explore other investment options beyond one size fit all solutions. Our investment strategy will be comprehensive and custom designed portfolio.
Step 4: Review & Rebalance your portfolio to meet your objectives
At times, a strategy will not always go to plan and that’s why we continuously monitor and review your portfolio on an ongoing basis and adjust strategies to meet life’s ever changing priorities and market conditions. This rebalancing allows us to stay on top of your goals and ensure as your needs evolve, so does our value as aligned partners to help you achieve success.
