About Harbourfront Wealth
Who Are We?
Unlike the large investment institutions, we embody a philosophy of independent, unbiased advice with an unwavering commitment to delivering true wealth management. We do this by offering harmonized advice that intricately weaves defensive portfolio construction, income planning and projecting, tax minimization planning, estate preservation, and trust management, all with a continuous focus on the management of risk. Our advisors located in Harbourfront’s branches across Canada have been carefully selected based on high standards of excellence and integrity. They tailor client wealth plans with no incentive to use proprietary products or investment vehicles.
The Harbourfront Story.
In 2013, a group of seasoned wealth advisors got together and decided to do something about the investment limitations which continue to plague the bank-owned, large conglomerates, and other mainstream investment dealers. Due to a general lack of access, the large majority of investment advisors across Canada are limited to investing their clients’ dollars the old way – exclusively in publicly traded securities, with no allocation to private investments.
Our Leadership Team.
With 100+ years of combined experience, the Harbourfront Wealth Management leadership team provides a wide breadth of wisdom and knowledge. With their guidance, leadership and passion, they have steered Harbourfront to the forefront of the industry.
