Our Leadership

 I have known Brian in excess of 25 years and can speak to his integrity, hard work, and ethics. As a small business owner, the difficulty it takes to do financial planning and the knowledge required to invest successfully is simply too great. Brian and his team take the time and have the knowledge. They presented us with a written living plan that makes incredible sense. Our money is managed by institutional money managers who are among the best in the world. His team evaluated our complex situation and discussed each part with a plan on how to move forward during their presentation.

Education Centre

As we turn the page to 2026, investors find themselves navigating a market that has defied expectations. The volatility of early 2025 — driven by geopolitical uncertainty and policy reversals — gave way to a powerful rebound, reminding us that fundamentals (the key principles of investing), not headlines, ultimately steer the course of markets. The recession fears have faded, replaced by signs of reacceleration across global economies. In this year’s outlook, we explore the forces shaping this new phase of the cycle and what they mean for investors seeking clarity amid the noise.
