OUR CLIENTS & SERVICES

OUR CLIENTS

Josephine works with business owners, entrepreneurs and high net worth families to create a strong financial plan and investment strategy that translates into a very real retirement and legacy plan for themselves, their families, and their businesses.  This allows them to grow and keep more of their wealth, while managing risk, and being mindful of tax efficiency along with other unique elements of their personal circumstances.

Through her work in philanthropy, she has also organically grown to be an advisor for foundations.  Her work on boards and committees over the years has allowed her to connect the work that she does as an Investment Advisor, to maximizing impact in the various foundations she is part of.  It is both fulfilling and satisfying for her to marry her knowledge and experience in the business sector into impact for the not-for-profit sector, and really brings to light how both have a very real and important place in our economy.

 

OUR PROCESS

We will sit down and assess your life and financial goals at the outset, and re-assess on a continuous basis. Using your goals as a compass, we will manage your wealth to ensure you remain comfortable and can continue to thrive in all stages of your life.

 

Step 1: Create your Financial Plan

Armed with a financial plan to guide the relationship from the start, we identify your current financial position and your goals for your wealth. This then guides us and allows us to navigate each major life event, making intelligent decisions for your wealth.

One of the things I love to do is simplify and create solutions for complex situations. If your financial situation is a bit more complex, we will enlist the help of our internal wealth partners to do a deep dive in the areas that may require more attention.

 

Step 2: Implement – Investment Management

The financial plan we create will dictate our strategy and appropriate asset allocation for your wealth. Your assets will be professionally managed in mandates that are specific to and appropriate for you. We will account for your comfort-level when it comes to risk, and strive for risk-adjusted and cost-effective returns.

We will use in-house mandates that are run by a team of highly experienced investment managers with specialized knowledge in equities, fixed income, economic analysis and outlook, portfolio construction, strategic asset allocation and risk management.

 

Step 3: Monitor

We will monitor the performance of your investments in relation to your goals and to industry benchmarks, while consistently using our financial plan as our guide.

We will have quarterly reviews in person, virtually and/or over the phone (which ever you prefer) so that you are part of the process, and informed as much or as little as you want to be.

Of course, I am here to discuss your plan, goals, investments, changes or major life events, or maybe even just life in general whenever you feel the need to have a chat.

Investment Advice

We offer a variety of investment services. Build and grow your portfolio by working closely with our team. Or, if you prefer to take a hands-off approach, you can leave the investing decisions to professional investment managers.

Whether you’re saving for retirement or a child’s post-secondary education, registered accounts are tax-effective.

Estate Planning

An estate plan helps ensure a smooth wealth transition to your family. We advise on issues like minimizing taxes, reducing market risk impact and potential family disputes—now and when your estate is settled.

Business Transition Planning

A formal business transition plan helps determine how, when and to whom you’ll transfer your business. A plan also helps preserve your company’s value as it accounts for tax planning, preparing for a potential sale and any unforeseen events. Our expert team helps you understand your options and identify an effective strategy.

Charitable Giving

Charitable giving positively impacts causes that matter to you. You can gift cash, securities, or the proceeds of a life insurance policy. It also helps reduce your tax liabilities. We assist with all your philanthropic needs through the CIBC Wood Gundy Giving Back Program or a Private Charitable Foundation. For more information on the CIBC Giving Back Program:
