A financial advisor can play an important role at any stage of your investment journey. Here is a list of some of the supports an advisor can provide:

  • A wide variety of financial solutions for your investment portfolio based on your unique goals and risk tolerance.
  • Detailed, step-by-step financial planning that’s tailored to your individual goals and situation, and can evolve with you as you move through different life stages.
  • Education and context to help you understand and gain confidence in your financial plan.
  • Guidance and support to instill good savings and investing habits and help you avoid common investing pitfalls.
  • Other services beyond managing your investments, such as estate and tax planning.

Three quarters of Canadian investors say their advisor provides value for their money. Although almost 60% of Canadian investors aren’t concerned about hidden fees, millennials and very high-net-worth investors are more likely to want more transparency in this area.
