Integrity Excellence Discipline

Integrity Excellence Discipline

Welcome — I'm truly glad you're here.

My passion is helping people and communities I care about find clarity and confidence in their financial lives. I believe in offering guidance that’s progressive, thoughtful, and deeply empathetic.

My practice is rooted in a few guiding principles: discipline, integrity, and excellence. These values shape every aspect of my work, ensuring that the advice I provide is not only honest and straightforward, but also delivered with the highest standards and attention to detail.

I understand that every decision we make together about your wealth is personal—it affects your life and the lives of those you cherish. My goal is to help you create purpose and meaning with your wealth, so you can experience it in ways that feel authentic and fulfilling.

When we work together, I take the time to get to know you—not just your finances, but your dreams, priorities, and what matters most. I want your wealth management experience to reflect who you are and support the life you envision.

By entrusting your wealth management to someone who values discipline and integrity, you gain the freedom to focus on what brings you joy and balance. My hope is to help you create more space for what matters—whether that’s family, career, or simply enjoying life.

At the end of the day, I believe wealth management is about people and relationships. While trends and technology may change, the heart of this work is understanding and caring for the people behind every decision, and striving for excellence in all we do.

I’d love to hear your story and see if we’d be a great fit to work together.

Looking forward to connecting,

Kara

Kara Baker: Your Trusted Investment Advisor

Navigating life’s big moments with steady guidance and expertise. 25+ years of wealth management built on trust and integrity.

 

Kara Baker: Your Trusted Investment Advisor

[Opening Scene]
Hi, I'm Kara Baker. I'm an investment advisor with CIBC Wood Gundy. I've been helping clients manage and protect their wealth for over 25 years.

 

[Kara’s Philosophy]
Over this time, I've learned that it's more than just about money—it's about the people and what truly matters to them.

 

[Personal Interests]
I'm always on the move. In winter, I enjoy skiing; in summer, I paddle or take walks in the coolies. Being in nature gives me a broader perspective, which I bring to my work by supporting clients with clarity, focus, and calm.

 

[Background and Values]
I grew up in Saskatchewan in a hardworking family that instilled values like integrity, resilience, and being thoughtful with money. Many of my clients share these values. They've worked hard for their money, built something meaningful, and want to protect it for the future.

 

[Client Focus]
Many of my clients are navigating significant life transitions—retirement, business changes, or other major events. These moments can feel overwhelming, but with the right plan and a steady partner, they become opportunities for growth.

 

[Trust and Relationships]
My clients trust me because they know I have their best interests at heart. I'm the person they call for advice—not just about finances, but about life.

 

[Closing Message]
That's the advisor I strive to be: calm, clear, and committed for the long run. If you're looking for a trusted partner to guide you through your next chapter, I'd love to connect,
