Independent Access

We partner with the best —
for your benefit only.

As a fee-only, independent advisor, I have access to a wide range of respected investment and insurance firms. This means I can recommend the most suitable options for your goals — without conflicts or product quotas.

Joanne David CFP FCSI Independent Financial Planner Edmonton

Trusted firms. Truly independent advice.

Being independent means we can provide a wide range of financial services from different competing financial and insurance companies, helping you select the most appropriate solutions.

Did You Know?

In Canada, there are currently over 3,400 mutual funds offered by more than 110 fund companies. When you include the many different series and versions (Series A, F, I, T, currency, etc.) tailored to various investor types, fee structures, and tax situations, the total number of choices exceeds 55,000 options.

Segregated funds — with their built-in maturity and death benefit guarantees plus creditor protection — and other guaranteed products, along with private market investments and securities commission-registered options, add even greater variety and customization.

Our independence means we can objectively review this full universe of solutions and select what truly fits your unique goals, risk tolerance, time horizon, and tax situation — without being limited to any single bank’s or manufacturer’s lineup.

Important Note on Independence

There are thousands of financial service companies in our Canadian marketplace. Thus, the financial and insurance companies that we can potentially deal with are not limited to the examples above.

By remaining truly independent, you gain access to a much wider variety of products and solutions, so we can always recommend the best options tailored to your individual needs, goals, and tax situation.

All mutual funds and investments are offered through the independent dealer Keybase Financial Group. Life insurance and insured retirement products are offered through the insurance brokerage Canadian Financial Strategies, Inc.. This structure ensures full transparency and zero product bias.
