Feeling shut down when you ask your advisor about the environmental record of companies you invest in? Been told you can’t make money investing responsibly? Uncomfortable about your hard-earned money being used to undermine the things you hold most dear?
We can help.
Responsible investing is not a sideline for Stephen Whipp Financial – it’s the only way we do business. We were early adopters and remain one of the few retail advisor teams in Canada to offer this level of dedicated knowledge and expertise.
We weigh more than short-term financial performance when assessing potential investments. We look for liabilities such as human rights violations, unethical governance or unsustainable environmental practices. These are risks to be factored into investment choices, along with the financials of a company. We look for strengths in the same areas, as we see them as indicators of a company’s long-term viability and sustainability. It’s a disciplined strategy that’s about managing your money without compromising your values.
This is activist investing with a long view. To preserve and protect the things most important to you. Not undermine them. Connecting the dots between what your money is doing and what you value for yourself, your family, the broader community and the planet.
Looking for a financial advisor, then there’s a possibility we could be a fit. Please read the short description of who I typically serve and if you think there’s a possibility we’d be a good fit then feel free to get in touch. I’ve been fortunate to have a great group of clients for many years. While each client is unique there are a few commonalities that might help you determine if you would benefit from my services.
Most clients are either retired or within 15 years of retirement.
Most clients are conservative investors that place value in the safety of their investment plan and less emphasis on taking high risk to generate return.
My clients are patient, long term investors committed to having a plan to work for the rest of their lives – not short term that may or may not work. They are willing to embrace counter intuitive thinking in how they invest their capital and look to price action strategies on when to enter and exit the markets.
If you’d like to have a conversation about working together let’s invest an hour of time getting to know each other better, your financial goals, and help determine if there’s value I can provide in your life.
Financial Planning is more than a career; it’s a passion. I continually introduce members to the strategies and investment products that will help you achieve your financial plan.
