Consider All Potential Eventualities

Expected return is the result of all potential eventualities times their probability of occurrence. It could be a market crash, unplanned illness, premature death or something specific to your situation. When we build a financial plan, we want to consider each of them and build a defence accordingly.

Invest with a purpose

Each investment product we suggest have their own purpose. Most often, they are tied to your cash flow requirements and reducing risk. The goal is to provide peace of mind: your wealth is safe so you can focus on generating more and enjoying it.

Net Wealth NOT Gross Rate of Return

Gross rate of returns ommit tax. With tax planning, you can increase your net rate of return. The risk-reward tradeoff of tax planning remains undefeated. Let’s maximise your net wealth while minimizing the risk.

Pension Expertise

We excel in maximizing pension value, pension transfer decisions, pension package decisions, pension decisions related to divorce and employment/retirement benefits related questions.

The Value of Independence

Michel Guimond

Best pension financial advisor in the Ottawa region.

Michel studied at Laval University, in Quebec City, and obtained a Bachelor’s degree in actuarial science in 1985. He worked at Metropolitan Life (MetLife) in Ottawa (and stayed in the region since then!) from 1985 to 1990 in the actuarial department, and obtained his Associateship from the Society of Actuaries (Illinois, USA), in 1988. In 1990, he decided to jump on the other side of the fence and to become a Financial Planner to help people with their finances.

In 1993, he went to Great-West Life (GWL) as a sales manager, then Regional Life manager in 1997.

In 2000, he left GWL to join a group of actuaries and financial planners and start giving retirement seminars for the Retirement Planning Institute (RPI), the largest provider of retirement seminars to the public function pensionneers. Since the year 2000, Michel has been the leading financial planning seminar facilitator at exclusive events for public sector employers and employees.

Over 700 seminars later, he still does retirement seminars and provides financial plans to over 500 families.
