1995, we started with these words:
Canfin was formed on September 15th 1995 with the belief that;
- Financial Planning is more than just having a Life
Insurance License
- Financial Planning is more than just having a Mutual
Funds License
We also knew that a window of opportunity was open for
serious, honest and hardworking advisors. Advisors with the
proper knowledge, education and certification can and will
provide superior financial counselling.
We were thoroughly convinced that an educational and
process oriented approach to financial planning could benefit
the public we serve in a major way. A client with clearly
defined goals and a desire to build financial independence can
do so if pointed in the right direction.
A decision had to be made. Can we provide better answers to the problems of taxation, retirement,
spiralling education costs, and a deteriorating standard of
living?
We had very little money. Actually all we had was a
reputation with the suppliers and advisors as people you can
trust. We were known for our dedication and integrity. We were
aware that in order to talk to anyone about working with us we
had to ensure that we have an ample supply of excellent
products and efficient administration. We then communicated
our plans to our respective suppliers who in turn were excited to forge a
relationship with us. With 21 advisors between us, a promise and a few
commitment values we began testing our formula.
We promised to provide excellent leadership in the
marketplace. To do this we must remain relentlessly committed
to our joint mission statement: "To
be the most trusted, knowledgeable and professional advisors,
providing our customers with comprehensive advice, quality
products and outstanding service to achieve their financial
goals."
- We are also committed to being innovative, as
such; we are constantly in search of innovative products
and sales concepts to differentiate us.
- We commit to always put the goals and dreams of
our advisors ahead of our own.
- We commit to always provide our advisors with the
"Vision" of our industry so that we stay on
track to accomplish our dreams as individuals and as a group of companies.
2000, Canfin Financial Group
marched into the new millennium with the following: We
are one of Canada's most trusted independent financial
planning organizations. Tens of thousands of Canadian families
and businesses entrust their assets and financial security to Canfin financial planners throughout Ontario.
Through the supervision of Certified Financial Planners and
our team of Lawyers, Accountants and Estate planning experts, We are able to offer individuals, business
owners and professionals the broadest range of financial
planning solutions.
Canfin's founders have over 50 years of cumulative
experience in helping Canadians achieve financial freedom.
This experience, particularly during the challenging markets
of the 1980 and 1990's, means that Canfin professionals are
among the most knowledgeable and tenacious in the business.
With today's ever-changing tax laws, complex investment
choices and varying market conditions, a customized financial
plan is crucial in determining your financial success.
Your Canfin financial planner will take you step-by-step
through the financial planning process.
The result will be the development of a comprehensive
financial plan tailored to your individual needs, taking into
account your age, current and desired income level, risk
tolerance level and stage of life.
2005, The Members of Canfin Financial Group continue to innovate
and evolve but remained steadfast on their purpose:
To be providers of
comprehensive and integrated wealth management services to
businesses and their employees, professionals and individuals.
Comprehensive because creating
wealth, distributing wealth, managing and preserving wealth
cannot be done in isolation. A full 360-degree perspective is
required to ensure that success in one area does not conflict
with another.
We use an integrated
approach in all our engagements because when it comes
to the creation, distribution, preservation and management of
wealth there are no easy answers, and may involve other highly
skilled individuals to work collaboratively with us to develop
custom tailored solutions based on the unique circumstances of
our respective clients.
To help our respective clients achieve their goals, We will only associate with financial planners, advisors
and other professionals and service providers who are
committed to life-long learning and professional development.
All of our clients will always
experience our "qualified
approach to wealth creation, wealth preservation, wealth
distribution and management!"
