HOW WE CHARGE

Independent financial planning · Alberta & Yukon

A partnership built on transparency.

You should know exactly what you pay and what you get for it. My advisory fee is 1% a year of the investments I manage, plus GST, and it covers everything below.

Your total cost has two parts

Our advisory fee: advice, planning, strategy and ongoing management of your portfolio

The fund costs (MER): the cost of running the ETFs and funds you hold, built into those funds

We'll walk through both with you before you invest, so nothing comes as a surprise.

What's included

More than picking funds

A written plan

Retirement, tax, insurance and estate brought together in one plan, updated as your life changes.

Advice that fits your situation

Investments chosen around your goals, your timeline and how much risk you can live with, not a one-size-fits-all model.

Coordination with specialists

I work with the other professionals in your life so decisions line up and nothing falls through the cracks.

Regular reviews

At least one review a year, and more when life changes. Between reviews, I reach out, and you can call or email anytime.

Steady guidance

When the headlines are scary, we talk it through and stick to the plan you agreed on in a calm moment.

Service in English and French

Clear explanations in the language you’re most comfortable with.

Good to know

The other part: fund costs (MER)

Each fund has its own operating cost (the MER), built into the fund and paid by everyone who holds it. I’ll show you what each fund costs before you invest.

Keeping fund costs down is part of our job.

​

We choose high-quality, low-cost funds so unnecessary fees don't quietly eat into your progress.
