How an advisor can help

Help with creating your retirement plan

Just as you plan a career, a nice retirement needs planning, too. Do you plan to volunteer, go abroad, or just take the time to live? These goals define your financial needs. Your advisor will optimize your investments based on your future lifestyle and retirement plan.

Some advice to prepare financially

To be more precise, your advisor establishes a realistic assessment of your financial situation with you. We look at your sources of income, plans to convert your RRSPs to RRIFs, determine how to use your pension fund, and more!

Support to adjust your strategy

Your advisor can customize your strategy according to your objectives and investor profile. Need to revise your investments, taxes or insurance? An advisor’s recommendations will help you start your new life with peace of mind.
