INVESTMENT COUNSELING PROGRAM

We provide clients with innovative investment and wealth management solutions personalized exclusively for each investor.  Through our Investment Counselling Program, our clients access top international professional money managers.

Our managed investment program is designed for investors who want greater control in setting the strategy for managing their wealth, but lack the time or expertise to manage the increasingly complex day-to-day decisions required to meet their unique and specific investment goals.

These actively managed accounts use a disciplined investment approach based on sector allocation, yield curve analysis, liquidity and security selection. They are available in several account types suitable to different investment objectives.

FEE-BASED ACCOUNTS

These accounts give our clients the freedom to trade in a wide range of investment products including stocks, bonds, mutual funds, options, income trusts and limited partnerships in a fee-based structure that allows attention to be focused on client service, ensuring quality of investments.

With our thorough attention, clients stay involved in the decision-making process and maintain direct control over their investments, building on traditional Canaccord values: freedom of choice for Investment Advisors and clients, negotiated pricing, and independent investment advice.

It is designed to appeal to investors who value the traditional full-service approach, but wish to pay a set fee that is tied to account value, not account activity.  Our competitive pricing model ensures that you get the most value for your dollar.

ETF PORTFOLIOS

The Complete Canaccord Portfolio solutions are designed to provide our clients with consistent, value-added investment returns through various economic and market conditions.  Drawing on the experience of Rogerscasey, the Complete Canaccord Portfolios aim to achieve the highest return potential possible while staying within your risk tolerance level.

Exchange-traded funds (ETFs) form the basis of the Complete Canaccord Portfolios. The ETFs are managed to risk and return while balancing asset classes, equity styles, fixed income duration and credit.

The Complete Canaccord ETF Portfolios offer you a level of risk management and security selection usually reserved for large institutional investors.
