Let us help you grow more than wealth

Strength you can trust

Distinguished by a long heritage of financial integrity and unwavering dedication to our clients, RBC has consistently earned high credit ratings.1

  • Moody's Aa1 and A1 / stable4
  • Fitch Ratings AA2 and AA-3 / stable4

Additionally, RBC has a reputation of strength and stability with a high-quality balance sheet, proactive risk management and a strong liquidity position.

Value statement

I help create financial security and peace of mind for individuals and their families. This is accomplished by providing clients with a high level of service that meets and often exceeds their expectations. Investors benefit from my customized approach to managing their wealth because it helps address their current financial needs and achieve their long-term goals.

Investment philosophy

I recommend a strategic buy-and-hold asset allocation strategy that is a broadly diversified portfolio of stocks, bonds, cash and alternative investments. In addition, I will closely monitor market and economic events to identify short-term investment opportunities. I will add tactical managers or funds as appropriate to help take advantage of the upside, yet still help provide some protection on the downside.

Let's take the next step together

I welcome you to experience the RBC Wealth Management difference yourself. Contact me today to set up a meeting.
