*Depending on personal need and circumstances
We have found that many physicians are happy to have assistance in setting up a system that will help them organize themselves financially. In addition to providing a structured approach to finances, it also includes strategies to ensure you maximize your wealth building potential.
We believe most physicians have the capacity to achieve Meaningful Wealth relatively quickly with the right strategies in place. However, earning a good income does not equate to being wealthy. Learning how to manage your earnings, spending and savings is critical to achieving financial independence.
Meaningful Wealth: The point at which you work because you want to, not because you have to. In other words, the point at which your assets can generate sufficient income to support your lifestyle on an ongoing basis.
Unfortunately, most medical programs do not provide significant exposure to the fundamentals of business or finances within their curriculums leaving many physicians without the knowledge and skills required to maximize their wealth building potential.
Beyond medical school and residency, newly practicing physicians become busy with the realities of practicing medicine and running a practice and often don’t have the time or interest to delve into the web of literature that exists to inform themselves about managing finances effectively and efficiently.
Based on our physician-focused surveys and further informed by our experience servicing physicians, we have developed resources focused on what physicians care about and need most to help them learn core principles and knowledge that will help set the foundation for a financially successful future.
Knowledge drives action and action drives results. We are committed to helping physicians learn more about finances, successful wealth accumulation, and financial independence. As such we offer presentations, information series, our blog, and our upcoming Quick Reference Guide to help physicians at all stages of life and career learn more about setting themselves up for financial success.

Discretionary portfolio management offers you the benefit of delegating day-to-day investment decisions to a qualified portfolio manager. This affords you professional advice and peace of mind so that you can devote your time to the other priorities in your life such as work, family, and personal interests. Clients who benefit most from discretionary portfolio management are typically those who are either too busy, don’t have the desire to manage their own investments, or prefer to spend their time doing other things.
As a Chartered Investment Manager (CIM) and Portfolio Manager, Sebastien has the necessary skills and experience to construct and manage discretionary portfolios. The Portfolio Manager designation requires that an Advisor has attained the highest professional standards of training in the wealth management field.
Using information from the discovery process and your Personal Wealth Plan, we will select an investment strategy/mandate that suits your needs and goals. This will be summarized in the form of an Investment Policy Statement (IPS) which includes your investment objectives and goals, investment guidelines (ie time horizon and risk tolerance), asset allocation and any applicable restrictions. The IPS directs all investment decisions and the responsibilities of advisor and client.
We will discuss your financial needs and Portfolio with you at your quarterly Personal Wealth Plan review meetings to ensure that your investment strategy continues to meet the agreed upon short and long-term investment objectives established in your Investment Policy Statement. Our reporting to you is comprehensive, including detailed monthly statements and quarterly summaries.
Our core investment philosophy centres on a multi-disciplined approach using research and evidence to drive decision-making. This allows you to pursue investment opportunities that are diversified not only across asset classes, but also by country, industry sector, market capitalization, and investment style.
