Money Managers
With more than 500 money managers in Canada, the discretionary arena has become an ever so fiercely competitive market. And in a volatile investor market, the struggle for human capital is ever so intense and ongoing. The search to finding strong advisors and portfolio managers is often far more complex than managing an investment portfolio for investors. And as if the owner of a money manager wasn’t already overwhelmed with unsettled markets and investors; searching for a Portfolio Manager only adds to the complexities he already faces. Our partnerships help aid, speed the process to complement critical sales and marketing infrastructure, allowing the money manager faster growth and scale.
Broker-Dealers
Similarly, overwhelming costs, compliance and regulatory complexities have made the creation and growth of broker-dealers a near Houdini-impossibility. The creation of new broker-dealer firms requires significant capital, infrastructure and rack capital for its first three years. Top talent is essential to the proper launch of any broker entity and ensures it remains free from regulatory wrath. Growing a broker-dealer is just another added layer of increased complexity that requires yet additional capital and intestinal fortitude. Our historical experience for instituting sensible strategic groundwork, creative marketing, and attractive compensation models, all provide the critical seeds for the proper build-out of emerging – growing broker-dealers in Canada.
