Senior Portfolio Manager, TD Wealth Private Investment Counsel (PIC)
With 28 years of financial services and investment experience, I actively focus on building strong and lasting client relationships, developing a deep understanding of my clients' goals, ambitions, family needs and lifestyle. As a Senior Portfolio Manager with PIC, I take pride in providing a high level of personalized service to my clients who may include high net worth individuals, families, foundations, trusts and corporations, to help them meet their goals and realize their dreams.
Customized, fully integrated and comprehensive plans may include investment management, and portfolio construction. When appropriate, I engage TD specialists who can provide clients with expertise on estate planning, business succession planning, as well as credit requirements. As an accredited Life Insurance Advisor at TD Wealth Insurance Services, I can also assist clients in this area. I believe that "full-service" access is crucial to my clients' evolving and complex needs at every life-stage, from wealth accumulation to preservation and transitioning.
TD Private Investment Counsel is one of Canada's largest private client money management firms managing over $38 billion in assets (as at Nov 2022). Leveraging the global resources of TD Bank Group, and working closely with a talented group of professionals, I assist my clients build net worth, implement tax-efficient strategies, protect what matters, and leave a legacy.
MY COMMITMENT TO YOU:
I put my clients first; I will always attempt to deliver beyond the expected;
I will strive to instill confidence.
That is how I work to make your life more comfortable.
