We call this approach the Atlas System. Each step above works together to reduce taxes and help you keep more of what you’ve earned.
On their own, none of these pieces can deliver true tax-efficiency. But when combined into one coordinated system, they create a retirement plan designed to save you money year after year.
The Atlas System brings every part of your retirement into one coordinated plan. Each step is personalized to you, so your taxes stay low and your retirement stays on track.
Our team includes three Portfolio Managers with more than 50 years of collective experience. Your portfolio is globally diversified, tax-efficient, and structured to capture long-term returns, not chase headlines. Many of our model portfolios consistently finish in the top quartile when compared to peers with similar mandates.
Alongside strong portfolio design and experienced management, your investments are held securely through NBIN, one of Canada’s largest custodial platforms, trusted by advisors across the country.
We charge a percentage of the assets we manage, and that fee covers both investment management and financial planning — including your retirement projections, tax strategy, and ongoing advice.
Our fees are competitive and typically range between 0.70% and 1.65%, depending on the size and complexity of your household’s assets. For context, larger portfolios pay a lower rate. If you’re curious where you’d fall, we’re happy to provide a quote based on your situation.
The Atlas Planning process is typically completed within 4 to 6 weeks, but your actual time commitment is modest.
Most meetings are under 45 minutes, and our team handles the heavy lifting between sessions.
We’ve designed this process to be thorough, but not overwhelming, so you get clarity without it taking over your calendar.
Planning doesn’t end with a binder. Once your Atlas Plan is complete, we revisit the key areas of your life every year through a focused and updated review that reflects what’s changed in your world.
Annual Planning Touchpoints:
Ongoing Support Includes:
Yes. We believe family planning is essential, especially when you’re thinking about education, gifting, or intergenerational wealth transfer.
We group your adult children under your household so they benefit from our planning and investment support, and share a lower family fee.
Many clients come to us from advisors who focused on investments, with little attention paid to planning.
What sets us apart is how deeply integrated our advice is. We request CRA access to review your tax returns annually and adjust your strategies in real time to stay tax-efficient. Our planning tools factor in your income, estate goals, withdrawal needs, and more to create a personalized, forward-looking plan.
We believe great advice connects every part of your financial life, so your investment strategy works in lockstep with your tax planning, cash flow, retirement goals, and legacy.
