Working with you

If your goals and needs are the cornerstone of your financial plan, your portfolio is the foundation of growth. We employ a similar approach to many institutions, designing portfolios for clients that include public stocks, bonds, and alternative investments (where appropriate) which helps reduce portfolio risk and exposure to market cycles. We also can use funds and ETFs if it fits your strategy. Our focus is on achieving the correct investment diversification strategy while minimizing costs. As a discretionary portfolio manager, we simplify your financial well-being by making wealth decisions for you. Every decision is guided by a thorough set of rules stated in your Investment Policy Statement (IPS). This IPS is aligned with your goals, appetite for risk and other aspects that may be important to you. This allows you to focus on your priorities, interests, and passions.

We’re drawn to people who inspire us – driven young professionals moving through the fast-paced years of their careers, growing multi-generational families navigating the complexities of wealth and legacy, and retirees enjoying what they have earned and deserve. Every client is unique and every interaction is an opportunity to get to know you better. That’s the essence of our business.

 

 

 

Our values

Empathy

The relationships we’ve built with our clients are core to our success. We see you as an individual and take the time to get to know you. We recognize your challenges and celebrate your wins. We’re always timely in our response to your requests.

Trust

As a discretionary investment team, trust is paramount. We recognize that the best way to build that trust is through clear communication and timely follow-through. It’s a collaborative relationship and we want to educate you about how your finances work and why we take the approach we take.

Authenticity

Every decision we make and every piece of advice we give is in your best interest, that’s our promise and fiduciary duty. Under the Richardson Wealth umbrella, we’re never pressured to sell a certain product or make certain decisions. Your plan is your plan.
