Investor Protection
We strive for the highest level of transparency, due diligence, and fiduciary responsibility by putting our clients’ needs first at all times.
CI Assante Wealth Management Ltd. is regulated by the Investment Industry Regulatory Organization of Canada (IIROC). IIROC sponsors the Canadian Investor Protection Fund (CIPF) that ensures financial protection for all of our clients in the unlikely event of investment dealer insolvency. CIPF will ensure the securities, cash and other property that are held in our clients’ accounts are returned to them in accordance with CIPF’s coverage policy.
Investment dealer insolvency doesn’t happen very often. In fact, since CIPF’s inception in 1969 there have been only 20 member insolvencies. CIPF has made payments of $36 million, net of recoveries, and no eligible customers have suffered a loss of property. Nevertheless, it is comforting to know that should a situation of insolvency arise, all of our clients will be protected.
Similar to other professional industries, fees from a financial planner should be defined – not hidden within an investment’s performance.
Contact our office to see how you can start working with a team who has been voluntarily disclosing fees, 10 years before the industry made it mandatory.
My Dashboard™
My Dashboard™’s flexible format allows you to look at current finances or forecast future needs. Keeping you on track and on plan.
When you meet with your advisor they will go through your DASHBOARD which works like a checklist that adds items that need your attention and checks them off when they have been reviewed.
How does My Dashboard™ work?
In every client interaction, your advisor reviews specific components of your financial plan at designated time intervals. This information is updated within My Dashboard™ and will be reviewed again at the next scheduled time.
