As a Portfolio Manager for TD Wealth Private Investment Counsel, David and his team work with high net worth clients to identify their investment and wealth goals and build a strategy to help achieve those goals. Using discretionary portfolio management, we handle the day to day management of client portfolios and provide clients with regular performance reviews.

- How to use the capital markets to achieve short and long-term financial goals
- Understand asset class characteristics and risk-return trade-offs
- Develop and adhere to a clear and appropriate long-term investment policy
- Prepare for swings in the markets and keep emotions and biases in check
