For many, selling a business or block of company shares, represents the largest monetary event of their lifetime and is a very emotionally charged process. Having had first-hand experience in selling a large and high-profile private company, I understand the emotional phases that one goes through, as you hand off your life's work. We also work with a team of trusted local experts, that will help you navigate each of the steps involved with selling your business.

Finally as a Portfolio Manager, my team and I will help you transition this hard-earned capital, over time, into suitable investments in the capital markets.

For US residents

We also provide investment advice to US residents and corporations, and in particular, to those who require Canadian investment focus.
