What We Do

Insurance Solutions

It’s not what we have in life, but who we have that matters. Protect the people you care about most with easy-to-understand insurance options that offer peace of mind and put precious time back where it belongs – in your hands. 

  • Health Insurance
  • Life Insurance
  • Travel Insurance
  • 3-in-1 life, disability and critical illness protection

Investment Solutions

Whether you’re investing for the first time, saving for the future or embarking on retirement, we can help you enjoy today while you prepare for tomorrow.

  • Registered retirement savings plan (RRSP)
  • Registered retirement income fund (RRIF)
  • Locked-in retirement account (LIRA)
  • Registered education savings plan (RESP)
  • Tax-free savings account (TFSA)

Estate Planning

Estate planning prepares families for the financial circumstances when a loved one passes away. Generally, it is the Will that will direct what happens at that point; however, many estate plans also include a simple Power of Attorney to deal with property issues if an individual becomes disabled and can no longer handle his or her own finances.

If you have accumulated assets during your lifetime, you likely will want to ensure that wealth transitions cost effectively. 

Goals-Based Investing for Retirement 

Goals-Based Investing focuses on helping you meet your income goals, not about performing against a stock market.

  • Driven by advanced analytics that illustrate what your retirement spending needs could look like in the future
  • Designed to provide you with a higher degree of confidence in the projected minimum income it pays out, and the potential  to grow your future income stream

Finally, a way to look forward to retirement with optimism? Now, that’s different. Contact us today to learn more.
