Senior Wealth Advisor & Portfolio Manager

Experience, Accountability, Integrity, Informed Advice, Consistent Communication and Exceptional Personal Service

I am a Senior Wealth Advisor & Portfolio Manager with National Bank Financial, with over 25 years experience. I create customized financial solutions for high net worth clients and their families. I view my role as that of a CFO reporting to you, the CEO of your family.

My Beliefs Regarding Your Investments

I believe that the individual investor has significant advantage over institutional portfolios which lack by their very nature are slow to react and constrained by their size.

I believe that the bulk of the investment products available to the individual investors are too expensive and fail to deliver the forecast results.

I believe that prudent diversification and a flexible asset allocation are the cornerstones in risk reduction, however, a "buy and hold" philosophy is no longer valid in these volatile markets.

 

I believe that a successful investment plan requires realistic expectations and a means to evaluate progress towards stated goals.

I believe that my team is equipped with the experience and tools to deliver a service experience that will exceed your expectations.
