Robert McClelland, Senior Partner, of Assante Capital Management, Thornhill, has been my financial advisor for over 25 years. I have entrusted all my monetary assets to him and have been pleased with his sound advice. As well as financial guidance, Rob's Assante Team provide estate planning, tax return completion, and keep clients well informed on subjects of interest through newsletters and weekly podcasts. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for an advisor.

We have been clients for 30 years. This team has our trust and confidence always. Our advisor is not pushy, is very friendly and relaxed. He listens to all our questions (including from some family members) and provides answers to guide our decisions.
We are thankful to have been clients for so many years, with no intention to move elsewhere. Highly recommended.
I've been with you some 30 years - always happy, always looking forward to seeing you again

I have had the pleasure of working with the McClelland Financial Group for nearly 30 years, and have been thoroughly impressed by their professionalism and expertise. The advisors are not only highly knowledgeable but also bring an innovative and holistic approach to wealth management. They take the time to understand your financial goals and tailor their strategies accordingly. What stands out most to me is their exceptional communication—they keep me informed every step of the way. I highly recommend the McClelland Financial Group to anyone looking for top-notch financial guidance.

My family and I have used McClelland Financial Group for years. Every employee I have encountered, on the administrative side or the financial side, has been professional, friendly, accommodating and patient. I really appreciate how the financial advisors are excellent about meeting you where you are with your financial knowledge and interest - if you want in-depth explanations and discussions, and close control over your investments, the knowledgeable advisors are available. But if you just want an excellent professional to handle things and not overly burden you with the details, they're happy to do that too! They're also really great about realizing that life happens, and they're super accommodating and helpful if you need to reschedule appointments or make off-schedule changes to your financials due to changes in circumstances. They make the whole experience easy.
I highly recommend!

I’ve been with this financial advisory company for 20 years, and I’m extremely impressed with their integrity and comprehensive approach. They don’t just focus on how my portfolios are performing, but consider the whole financial and life / family picture, which shows their deep understanding and commitment to their clients’ overall financial health. I trust them completely and highly recommend them to anyone looking for genuine financial guidance. Carlo, in particular, is fantastic to work with. I can’t recommend him enough for his expertise and dedication.

FAQ

Estate planning discussions should start when an individual starts accumulating assets.

A will is a tool that will be utilized in a proper estate plan.

Unnecessary delays and costs will occur if a proper will is not in place upon death.

By understanding your highest priorities for wealth distribution upon death, we can ensure the appropriate strategies and tools are utilized.

A will should be reviewed at least every 5 years or upon certain life events (i.e. birth of a child, marriage of a child, breakdown of marriage, death of persons involved, etc.).

There are 3 different sets of “taxes” to be paid upon death:

  1. Taxes on the deceased individual’s personal return
  2. Taxes on the estate’s return annually until it is closed
  3. Estate Administration Tax (aka probate fees) levied on the value of the estate upon the individual’s death

All assets that must be distributed according to the will are included in the estate value.
