Additional certifications even allow him to offer options including tax-efficient Labour-Sponsored Investment Funds and an array of insurance products.

Graham Isenegger
We believe investors should not have to sacrifice their core values to meet their financial goals, so we created the Blue Heron ESG Leader Portfolios to offer Responsible Investing to our clients.
The flexibility of the AMA discretionary managed portfolio system has allowed us to be innovative in our thinking and launch these portfolios that focus on sustainable investing. In a dynamic, interconnected world, there is no “simply getting rid of stocks, bonds or investment funds that are unethical or morally ambiguous,” We developed tough screening criteria – our Blue Heron Investment Principles – which constitute a methodology to remove subjectivity from our Environmental Social and Governance (ESG) screening and create a reasonable, objective, and repeatable means to identify better companies and build better portfolios.
Our financial planning approach starts by listening. We want to achieve a full understanding of where you are, and where you would like to go. We work with our clients to develop a meaningful plan for them. We listen, to identify key issues and help you to understand the options available. From this we guide you through the process to make better informed decisions.
We have the scale, flexibility and independence to tailor solutions just for you.
Pascale Imbeau
Chacun d’entre nous possède un ADN financier qui lui est propre. Il est fait de dizaines de molécules de vie qui gravitent dans notre quotidien et qui interagissent les unes avec les autres : notre famille, notre carrière, nos projets immédiats et nos rêves pour demain, notre retraite, notre entreprise, nos valeurs profondes.
Mon rôle – et mon savoir-faire –, c’est d’élaborer une stratégie financière fidèle à cet ADN. C’est d’épauler chacun de mes clients afin qu’il atteigne ses objectifs sans oublier sa qualité de vie et en respectant ses convictions. C’est de le soutenir pour qu’il puisse se projeter dans le futur avec une bonne dose de confiance et de fierté.
Lorsque j’ai choisi la finance comme carrière il y a une vingtaine d’années, je voulais offrir à mes clients des services de gestion d’actifs alliant connaissance pointue des marchés, intégration de certaines valeurs et accompagnement personnalisé. Aujourd’hui, c’est une équipe et des partenaires, tous ces gens de qui je m’entoure, qui cultivent cette vision à la fois rigoureuse et humaine de la « finance ».
Je suis l’alliée des familles, des professionnels et des chefs d’entreprise que je conseille. Spécialisée dans l’art de travailler ensemble et pour leur assurer un accompagnement de la plus haute qualité, je jumèle leurs autres professionnels de confiance et leurs proches à notre propre réseau de spécialistes et de partenaires.
Dès le tournant du nouveau millénaire, j’ai intégré à ma pratique l’investissement responsable et durable. J’en ai développé une expertise, ceci tant par conviction personnelle que pour répondre aux attentes de ma clientèle. Membre de l’Association pour l’Investissement responsable depuis plus de 15 ans, aujourd’hui encore je continue d’affiner mes connaissances, de me documenter et de participer à des conférences spécialisées pour me tenir au courant des derniers développements et enrichir ma vision de l’investissement responsable.
Ce qui guide mes actions et m’anime au quotidien, c’est d’abord mon client. C’est de l’accompagner, de lui dire les vraies choses, en toute transparence. C’est de lui permettre de s’accomplir à la lumière de ses aspirations et de ses valeurs.
C’est aussi de savoir qu’ensemble nous faisons les bons choix, ceux qui respectent l’humain et son environnement dans tous les sens du terme. C’est de sentir que je peux faire une différence avec lui, et pour lui!
C’est là ma façon d’aborder la gestion de patrimoine.

Janice believes that each investor’s needs are unique and investment and financial planning must reflect that reality. In addition, she understands that preservation of capital is of paramount concern and can be best obtained with a well structured, diversified portfolio.
The process leading to financial independence usually begins with a complete review of current and future life goals. Everyone is different, with individual expectations and objectives. With goals based investing, these goals drive every decision made in regards to managing wealth.
It is important to develop a customized investment strategy, matching expectations with what is realistic and comfortable for each client in terms of risk. Janice often works in collaboration with a wide range of professionals in the legal, accounting and financial planning fields to meet her clients’ specific needs and goals.
