We invest to align with your unique needs

Investment counseling tailored to your needs

GFl’s customized portfolios are built to meet the unique needs of our clients. We work closely with each client to develop a customized asset allocation strategy that reflects risk tolerance, time horizon, and other factors deemed important to that client’s financial success.

The result is a diversified portfolio typically invested in 18 to 30 core holdings, including equities and fixed income investments.

GFI remains in contact with our clients on an ongoing basis. This ensures that client portfolios are always aligned with their changing needs and goals.

Client funds are held with third-party custodians. This allows GFI to provide all necessary services that benefit our clients, such as direct deposit and withdrawals and comprehensive tax documentation. National Bank Independent Network is our prime custodian, but we are happy to work with a custodian of your choice.
