At Conacher Private Wealth, we recommend the solutions we believe in, solutions that we believe will benefit you – not just us. After all, we're invested alongside you. And you can always trust we’re solely focused on protecting and enhancing your wealth so you can live more on your terms.
 

1. Discretionary Investment Management

Clients may choose to delegate day-to-day responsibility for investment management to our Portfolio Manager. The client completes an Investment Policy Statement (IPS), which governs the investment objectives, risk profile, and timeframe for the managed portfolio. The Portfolio Manager makes all investment decisions, but maintains regular contact with the client, to ensure that they are aware of recent developments and to explain the current investment strategy. This structure is best suited for disciplined medium to longer-term investors with assets of $200,000 or more.


2. Growth Opportunities

We believe investing in small and medium-sized companies is the best strategy in helping you grow the value of your assets over the longer term. This type of investment management requires fundamental analysis and years of experience. We've built strong relationships with many industry professionals and leaders that has helped us stay informed and current.
 

3. Tax Minimization

We strive to ensure that client portfolios are tax-efficient. We employ a variety of approaches involving asset and account allocation, flow-though shares and Limited Partnerships, insurance options or annuities*. Clients in fee-based arrangements also have the benefit of receiving tax credits for a portion or all of their management fees**. Further, our long-term investment strategy ensures that our portfolios typically have a low turnover rate, keeping taxable gains due to trading at a minimum.
 

4. Disciplined, Flexible Process

We utilize several strategies to determine which securities to purchase. For stocks, we harness proprietary, investment screening software together with our own analysis of company balance sheets and income statements. For bonds, we carefully monitor interest rates, credit-quality, and the convexity of the yield curve. Our methodology is flexible enough to accommodate investors who are "in for the long haul” or investors who want to pursue a more aggressive, shorter-term trading strategy.
