"Ian Candfield has been our financial advisor for over 10 years and has more than satisfied all our needs. He has not only helped our financial status but has shown a personal interest in us as senior citizens. He is very personable and always consults us with his recommendations. What better way to demonstrate our confidence and approval than the fact that we recommended him to a family member and close friend. Both of them are also very pleased with his performance on their behalf."

"I have been with Ian Candfield for many years now and have recommended Ian to numerous friends and family all of whom have been extremely appreciative and overwhelmingly satisfied. When I first went to meet Ian, I was obviously apprehensive but he soon assuaged my fears with his courteous, respectful and honest demeanor. Ian will always work with the individual investor to help them understand their own risk tolerance within present market conditions. Ian will always offer honest, forthright counsel to help you achieve your personal goals whatever they may be.
I strongly recommend Ian Candfield to anyone who is searching for an advisor in whom they can place their trust."

"I interviewed four advisors years ago and Ian was the runner up. Sadly for me, I chose what I thought was the easiest way to work and partnered with my bank, despite finding Ian to be the best fit then. Years later, I interviewed Ian and another three advisors and finally made the right choice. Ian listens to how you want to work and to what you want to accomplish, and then he plans everything out and provides you with choices. When you decide, he executes. I am certain he tailors his service style to his clients. He is never annoying; he's persistent if needed. He is always available and has the fastest response time I've ever experienced if you don't catch him on the phone at the first try. And he is calm and relaxed despite his efficiency…quite the combination."

"My wife and I met Ian for the first time in 2000. Our Investment advisor was changing investment firms and we were asked to move with him. After meeting with Ian, we decided against moving and stayed on with CIBC Wood Gundy. We knew we were novices at investment and financial planning but we knew that we were looking for an investment advisor who was more involved than an annual RRSP contribution meeting. We were looking for someone who was knowledgeable, ethical and that we could trust and can turn to for support and guidance through changing circumstances and financial life stages. Here we are 19 years later extremely pleased with the decision we made. We find the entire CIBC Wood Gundy team pleasant at all times and easy to work with. They are always contactable, courteous and helpful and they are so easy to recommend to others."

"Ian Candfield was my mother’s financial advisor for eight years and has been mine since my mom passed away in 2018. He was instrumental in securing a financially independent life for my mother in her later years. Ian met with my mother and me at my mother’s residence twice a year. He would update her on what was happening in the market and made her feel an active part of the wealth management process. He is a great listener; he explains everything in detail and in language I can easily understand. Ian returns my calls and emails right away. He prepares detailed financial plans, builds portfolios to create the best return possible based on our risk profile, he coordinates with our accountant and calibrates his fees to keep them as low as possible, often waiving fees charged by other institutions. I have always trusted Ian to make sure that my investments are as safe as possible, and that my concerns and wishes are being fully respected and addressed.
For those of us uncertain in these tenuous financial times, I give Ian Candfield my highest personal recommendation."
