The world of finance has seen dramatic change, disruption and innovation over the past quarter-century, with three key factors standing out as most consequential for Canadian investors:
The traditional 60% equity, 40% fixed income approach to asset allocation served many investors very well in the past, but the double-digit fixed income yields this approach was built on are now a long-distant memory. Creating and preserving wealth for today’s investor requires a more flexible approach – one that recognizes the realities of today’s market environment and leverages innovative insights and solutions to help investors navigate the tectonic shift in the investment landscape.
The Q Wealth portfolio management approach begins with understanding two very important things about you::
Some investors have a risk capacity that is significantly lower than the level of risk they are willing to take, while others enjoy circumstances that give them a risk capacity that’s much higher than the level of risk they can emotionally tolerate. Our goal is to get a clear understanding of your risk capacity and tolerance, and then build your plan around whichever of the two entails the lower level of risk.
Building a well-diversified portfolio that answers the challenges of today’s complex market environment requires a multi-faceted, team-based approach. Each member of the PWM Private Wealth Counsel team brings a unique perspective and background, and working with Q Wealth registered portfolio managers, customized portfolios can be crafted for clients to help them meet their financial plan goals and objectives.
The scale and approach of Q Wealth Partners ensures we are taking full advantage of the collective knowledge and experience of the firm and its many partners. This adds meaningful value to the portfolios, which translates into greater wealth-creation potential for our clients.
