History
When the four traditional pillars of banking, trust, securities and
insurance came down as a result of de-regulation, the ways to service
the financial needs of Canadians changed. Queensbury

professionals to address these changes. |

of a client's current financial picture. This is followed
by the development of a Financial Plan to be reviewed annually,
or more often if required. The aim is fulfillment of client
expectations and peace of mind during the process

and objectives.

Methodology
|
The planning process starts with a
review of existing revenue streams and assets. Emphasis is
placed upon tax planning in order to maximize cash flow and to improve
discretionary income. The elimination of non-deductible debt
such as a bank loan for personal expenditures, credit card liabilities
or mortgage payments is also a top priority.
Life, health and disability insurance
risks are identified. Estate planning strategies are examined.
|
|
Wills are reviewed and amended where
appropriate. Lifestyle objectives are quantified and priorities
are established.
Proper asset allocation is a major
determinant in capital accumulation. Once established, available
resources are invested in keeping with personal objectives.
Queensbury
associates monitor economic trends, currencies and relative security
values in the constant search for suitable investments with superior
returns.
