Fraser & Partners

For the past 30+ years, we’ve been on a mission to inject the “life” into financial planning. We work collaboratively with clients, guiding an integrated process that allows them to discover their own financial life planning solutions from a completely objective perspective. To remain client-centered, we’ve evolved from a national financial services franchise in 1987; to joining a flat fee mutual fund dealer in 2004; to our current financial life planning model offering separate securities services through Aligned Capital Partners. We’ve made bold changes to realign with a changing industry and accommodate the needs of our clients. There are more changes to come, and we’re excited about the future!

One of our core values as a firm is continuous learning. Through the Knowledge Bureau, team members have earned designations including Real Wealth Manager and DFA-Tax Service Specialist. The Distinguished Advisor Conference (DAC) not only provides quality educational content but also connects us with other like-minded professionals.

Manulife Bank

We look forward to sharing Manulife Bank’s secret sauce with advisors looking to develop meaningful client relationships. We look forward to sharing strategies that help Canadians feel financially secure so they can focus on what brings them joy.

The Institute
