First Atlantic Private Wealth offers you comprehensive financial planning and portfolio management.
Financial
Management
We explore all the various elements of your financial situation to create a plan. Your plan may range from help in one specific area, such as a major purchase, to a full strategy covering all aspects of the planning spectrum.
Tax
Planning
Taxes can be one of the biggest impediments to accumulating wealth. We structure your investment portfolio to optimize your tax situation and work with you or your accountant to minimize your taxes outside your portfolio.
Estate
Planning
Creating a plan for your estate greatly reduces the stress on your family and loved ones and ensures that your assets are distributed according to your wishes. This is an integral part of your overall financial plan.
Retirement
Planning
Using various accounts and strategies, we help create a plan to build the income you need for retirement.
Specific
Goals
You may have something special that you want to achieve. We will explore your timeframe and ways to reach your target.
Risk
Management
Understanding your risks and how to manage those risk is a key element to any plan. We highlight possible exposures and give an objective assessment of your insurance or risk management needs.
Education
Planning
A Registered Education Savings Plan (RESP) along with the Canada Education Savings Grant (CESG) is one of the best options for saving for your child’s education.
Portfolio
Management
